In the heart of Shelbyville, Indiana, Gilly Noble’s life takes an unexpected turn when he rescues a stray cat named “Ringo.” This act of kindness leads him to the local animal shelter where he works, setting the stage for a series of comedic and dramatic events that unfold in the Say It Isn’t So Full Movie.
Gilly’s journey begins when he visits a charming young hairdresser, Jo Wingfield, for a haircut. As Jo skillfully trims Gilly’s hair, she reveals that she recently lost her own cat, also named Ringo. This coincidence sparks a connection between them, but the excitement of the moment leads to an unfortunate accident—Jo accidentally cuts off a part of Gilly’s ear. This mishap sends Gilly to the hospital, where doctors successfully reattach his ear.
To make amends for the incident, Jo invites Gilly to lunch at her home the following day. There, Gilly meets Jo’s self-centered mother, Valdine, and her invalid father, Walter. Despite the awkward family dynamics, Gilly and Jo’s relationship blossoms, and they begin dating.
After six months of dating, Gilly and Jo become engaged, but their happiness is short-lived. A private detective named Vic Vetter contacts Gilly with shocking news: he is actually Valdine and Walter’s son. This revelation forces Gilly and Jo to confront the incestuous nature of their relationship, leading to a painful breakup. Gilly moves in with his newfound family, while Jo relocates to Beaver, Oregon, to start anew.
Branded a “sister-fucker” by the community, Gilly loses his job at the animal shelter and is left with no choice but to work for the highway department, removing roadkill. The comedic yet tragic turn of events highlights the absurdity of Gilly’s situation in the Say It Isn’t So Full Movie.
Sixteen months later, Jo’s life takes another unexpected turn when a young man named Leon Pitofsky arrives at the Wingfield doorstep, claiming to be Valdine and Walter’s biological son. He presents a birth certificate as proof, momentarily lifting the family’s spirits before they lash out at Gilly, forcing him to leave. Valdine, in a fit of rage, informs the Beaver police that Gilly is a sex offender, prompting Gilly to flee.
On his journey to Oregon, Gilly befriends Dig, a pilot with two prosthetic legs, who becomes an unlikely ally in his quest to reunite with Jo. Meanwhile, Jo finds herself engaged to her wealthy ex-boyfriend, Jack Mitchelson, who has a dark side—he secretly deals marijuana and manipulates local politicians.
As Jo navigates her engagement to Jack, Valdine pressures her to marry him for his wealth, despite Jo’s lingering feelings for Gilly. Valdine keeps Leon hidden, insisting he is merely a figment of Gilly’s imagination. Gilly, on the run from the authorities, relies on Dig to help him evade Jack’s henchmen.
