I don't know if this movie was supposed to be funny, or interesting, or clever, but I was bored within the first few minutes of watching it. Ricky Gervais is the same arrogant, unfunny character that he plays in anything he's in. Jennifer Garner and Tina Fey, while usually brilliant at what they do, were dumbed down in an attempt to make Gervais seem funnier, and it just didn't work. The only scene I liked in the entire movie was the one taking place in the hospital, and even that was ruined by bad comedic timing, and the implausible plot line of the rest of the movie. None of the characters were likable, and were two dimensional, and the idea of people not lying often got mixed up with people just always saying what's on their mind (like really, would someone say they hated their job, when just serving food? That's not telling the truth, that's just a bad attempt at a joke). Bad script, bad plot, bad characters. Would not recommend in a million years.
