Ricky Gervais directs this tale of a world where no one in the world has lied, and somehow humanity has made it to the 21st century with this impediment. And then one day, Mark (Gervais's character) stumbles across the concept of lying in a world where everyone takes everything people say as being totally truthful without any need for verification or corroboration.
Of course, the screenplay takes such a premise to obvious (and somewhat funny) conclusions, but it's a 45 minute screenplay idea stretched out far too long. Didn't hate it, but didn't love it either, it just got a bit tedious in the last 2/3 of the film.
I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.
