Say It Isn't So is a romantic comedy from 2001, directed by James B. Rogers and produced by Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly, the duo behind There's Something About Mary. The movie follows the story of a young couple, a hairdresser named Gilly Noble and a veterinary assistant named Jo Wingfield, who are deeply in love with each other until they discover that they might be siblings.

Chris Klein plays the role of Gilly Noble, a naive and innocent hairdresser who falls in love with Jo Wingfield, played by Heather Graham, a beautiful but troubled girl who has just arrived in their small town in Indiana. Gilly is smitten with Jo from the very beginning and is determined to win her heart, even though Jo is wary of men and has a dark secret from her past.

As Gilly and Jo start dating and falling deeper in love, they discover that Jo might be his long-lost sister, the result of a mix-up at the hospital where they were born. This revelation puts their relationship in jeopardy, and Gilly is devastated. He decides to leave town and start a new life, but not before he discovers the truth about Jo's past and the real reason why she's so afraid of love.

Orlando Jones plays the role of Dig McCaffrey, a private investigator hired by Gilly to find out the truth about Jo. He becomes Gilly's sidekick in his quest for the truth and helps him to uncover the secrets of Jo's past. Throughout the movie, Jones provides some of the best comedic moments, and his portrayal of the wacky detective adds levity to the often-serious tone of the film.

The movie's supporting cast is also strong, with Sally Field playing the role of Valdine Wingfield, Jo's overprotective mother, and Richard Jenkins playing the role of Walter Wingfield, Jo's stepfather. Both Field and Jenkins add a layer of complexity to the film, as their characters' motivations are not always clear, and they struggle to reconcile their own past mistakes.

One of the film's strengths is its ability to balance its comedic moments with its dramatic ones. While the movie is primarily a romantic comedy, it also deals with some heavy themes, such as child abuse, incest, and abandonment. The movie handles these issues with sensitivity, and the emotional moments are never overdone.

Another strength of the film is the chemistry between Chris Klein and Heather Graham. The two actors have great on-screen chemistry, and their love story is both believable and endearing. The film also benefits from its small-town setting, which adds to its charm and creates a sense of community that is heartwarming.

Overall, Say It Isn't So is a lighthearted and entertaining romantic comedy that deals with serious issues in a compassionate way. With great performances from its cast and a strong script, the movie is a must-watch for fans of the genre.

Say It Isn't So is a 2001 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 35 minutes. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.0 and a MetaScore of 21.
