The star of Telling Lies in America is Kevin Bacon. Like his character in Wild Things, he's a sleazeball. He's such a practiced sleazeball that his portrayal elevates the screenplay to watchable.
I'm not crazy about Joe Eszterhas as a writer, so I wasn't thrilled at the notion of his autobiography, but I needed my Calista Flockhart fix on a Monday night with no "Ally McBeal". This is not a good reason to watch a movie, as it turns out. I wasn't exactly moved by Brad Renfro's performance as the troubled teenage immigrant trying to be cool and make it through school.
