Lies & Alibis or a.k.a The Alibi 2006

*glasses to create smarts


This movie has a lot going on. The story centers around a ex- con man Ray Elliot (Steve Coogan) who now runs a business that creates elaborate lies for adulterers to go about adultery.  It is a big office with lots of phones, computers and so on. One client accidently kills his date and well everything goes down hill from there, especially when Ray Elliot want to inform the police about the murder.
 My father and I liked the twist and turns to this movie but felt it could of don't without this romantic comedy feel to it. While watching this movie we thought what another director would to this this, and ultimately make it better. Since Hitchcock is dead, I think Guy Richie would of had a lot of fun with this script.

Any way

There is only one character with glasses in this movie. She is credited as Operator #1 (Aimee Garcia), yet she comes across more as Ray Elliot's secretary. She wears glasses and has a quirky hair do, the viewer may assume she be quirky in personality as wellWe see her in the beginning of the movie talking to Ray about all his appointments. Rebecca Romijn enters for a job interview, even though she does not know what the company does, Operator #1 sees that Ray is attracted to Miss Rebecca Romijn and leaves the scene.  Operator #1 must read a lot and knows the computer systems at her job very well, so to do all the smarty pants stuff you need glasses.
This character we don't know much about, she is not a love interest, she is not comic relief she pretty much there to operate technology and save Ray Elliot's butt later in the movie.
 Does she hate her job? does she go home and find people disgusting? does she do this job to pay for college? we don't know.
this happens a lot in movies, a character that pretty much an accessory. There to operate the technology, because the leads are too pretty to be seen doing that.
