In a world where everyone can only tell the truth... ...this guy can lie.
How it Performed at the Box Office Opening Weekend: This movie opened to a dismal $7.4 million. The critics are pretty much all giving the same review to this movie, that being that it is in fact clever in many ways, and does produce some laughs, but still remains to be too much of a romantic comedy that doesn’t quite deliver on some of what the trailer “promises”. Here you’ll find a full review.
Release Date (everywhere): October 2nd, 2009
Their Plot Synopsis: A comedy set in a world where no one has ever lied, until a writer seizes the opportunity for personal gain.
Starring: Ricky Gervais & Jennifer Garner
My Thoughts: While it is an extremely clever idea, I’ve got the feeling that this movie is just going to turn out to be yet another romantic comedy. I don’t know if I can keep myself away from seeing it though (even with my intense dislike for romantic comedies) simply because of the idea of watching a movie where nobody holds back. I’m sure that about half way through the movie Jennifer Garner will discover she has been lied to and blow off Ricky…then Ricky will proceed to get her back, ending in typical romantic comedy fashion.
