The idea of the film is not meant for a film that's longer than 5 minutes, and in fact there is about 5 minutes if not less, of funny material in the whole film. It is generally a waste of time. I wasn't expecting much from Ricky Gervais, who really thinks he is funnier than he actually is, but this was even below my expectations. Louis C.K. does a good job with his secondary role and there isn't enough of him. This movie should be showed in film school as an example of a bad movie.

This film, if it can be called one, can be basically described as 'the awful invention of a script' to trash God and believers. The movie has been created by people with so little imagination that everyone keeps repeating two lines -- "short fat kids with stub noses" and "the man in the sky" countless number of times. I wonder how anyone can venture to make a movie with such limited imagination. It looks like an amateur attempt at movie making, completed in a few days with minimum people. Obviously, those behind the script, screenplay and direction have been gifted very little with creativity by "the man in the sky". If you have time to waste, please go try counting waves that lash on the beach. And if you have money to waste just put it through a paper shredder. But definitely, don't waste a nickel on this apology of a movie.

If there is a concept of selling and buying something then definitely lie was before that. When I saw the first lie was invented in a bank in this movie then immediately I have shift deleted the movie. Because the concept was wrong. -------------------------. ----------------------------. -------------------------------. ----------------------------------. ------------------------------------. ---------------------------------------. ------------------------------------------. I have written unnecessary lines because I have to make 10 lines at least to pass IMDb filter.

In an alternate world where nobody has ever came up with the idea to lie, Mark Bellison (Ricky Gervais) is the slubby loser at the bottom of the barrel. His blind date with Anna McDoogles (Jennifer Garner) goes as well as possible considering she is not attracted to him. Frank (Jonah Hill) is his suicidal neighbor. Greg (Louis C.K.) is his best friend. Mark is the least successful film writer and is fired by his boss Anthony (Jeffrey Tambor). His secretary Shelley (Tina Fey) is very demeaning. Brad Kessler (Rob Lowe) is the star writer/reader who hates Mark. Then something in Mark's brain snaps and he begins lying. Only everybody automatically believes him because nobody can understand lying.It's an inventive premise but not necessarily a hilarious one. It's quirky with a few good laughs. Tiny Fey is the funniest making fun of Gervais. When he starts lying, he throws a few sharp jabs and gets a few fun moments. Garner is way too cold. She should throw a few lines about taking pity on Gervais. Gervais should write her in a sweeter way. This is quite an original idea. I just wish it's funnier.
