I thought this movie was wonderful! It was written and directed by Ricky Gervais of the original "Office" fame, and stars Ricky Gervais and Jennifer Garner. Mr. Gervais also managed to rope in some amazing actors for cameo roles, including Rob Lowe, Christopher Guest, Tina Fey and Edward Norton.
The premise of the movie is that no one in the world can lie, and one day, Ricky Gervais' character just...lies. The consequences of his actions are hilarious and touching. It is a new story,told in a very witty way. I like it when movies
surprise me, and this movie filled the bill!
Also worth noting:
The cinematography reminded me of "Pleasantville" or "The Truman Show". The costumes were done by the same costumer who did "13 Going on 30".
This movie was sweet, but also managed to tackle some very real issues. I loved it!
