About Alibi.com

Greg runs Alibi.com, a business that builds convincing cover stories to spare clients from awkward moments and tricky truths. He works with his loyal partner Augustin and a new recruit named Mehdi, crafting increasingly elaborate setups to keep people out of trouble. The line between fiction and reality blurs as their schemes unfold in everyday life, turning social occasions into mini performances. Greg meets Flo, a smart, funny woman who hates liars, and her presence threatens to expose his secret operation. As the double life presses against his personal goals, he must weigh money and practicality against honesty and genuine connection. What starts as a clever workaround soon tests loyalties and the limits of what people will do for love.

Directed by Philippe Lacheau, Alibi.com is built from an original screenplay by Pierre Dudan and Julien Arruti. The film showcases a distinctly French comedic sensibility, blending brisk verbal gags with visual misdirection, social tact, and an easygoing ensemble that sustains momentum through a series of escalating set pieces. The result is a lively, approachable comedy that leans into character chemistry while keeping the pace quick enough to stay entertaining.

With a budget of $7,546,570, Alibi.com earned $29,370,592 at the worldwide box office, illustrating solid commercial performance for a mid range French humor film. The strong return signals broad appeal beyond a single market and reflects how family friendly jokes can travel across borders when paired with sharp timing and likeable leads. The financial numbers reinforce the film’s role as a dependable producer of light, shareable laughs.

Critics praised its brisk pacing and the cast's ability to mine humor from deception without slipping into cruelty. Thematically the movie weighs honesty against convenience in dating, the costs of keeping secrets, and how trust is tested when romance enters a complicated lie. The tone stays warm, avoiding bitterness while delivering a tidy satire of modern flirtation and workplace ethics.

As a solid example of late 2010s French mainstream comedy, the film helped cement Philippe Lacheau's profile as a dependable crowd pleaser for family audiences. The alibi premise resonated with social media audiences who enjoy quick, situation driven humor, contributing to a recognizable strand of light farce in European cinema.
