Why do we lie? What happens when we lie?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are taking a look at the complicated family in Mamma Mia! They’re talking about honesty and what happens to relationships when we lie. Jonathan explains Sophie’s tendency to lie, where that comes from, and why we all lie. They talk about the stellar cast, less than stellar singing, and why this bad movie is so dang fun to watch.

A few weeks on, and because of this episode, I'm now somewhat obsessed with this movie. Before you reacted to the movie I had never seen it. Now I've seen several times already.

Sean Astin is a beautiful real-life example of a situation like this where everyone tells the truth (or tries to). His mother, Patty Duke, had had overlapping relationships with Michael Tell and Desi Arnaz Jr when she got pregnant; she thought Arnaz was the father, although later on it turned out it was Tell, but she was open with both of them and with her son about the situation. Then she married John Astin, who adopted Sean, and, after their divorce, Mike Pearce. All four men were father figures for Sean, who is close to all of them and has said that he has four dads and can pick up the phone and call any of them whenever he wants. It's so beautifully, un-traditionally wholesome.
