A comedic cast full of potential and a unique premise fail to deliver here. The film exists in a world where not only are people incapable of lying, but they also seem to willingly share their thoughts, unprompted, on just about everything. This leads to some funny character dynamics initially, but gets old very quickly.

Not lying makes you a robot with Tourette's? This was already an SNL skit anyway, so all they did was poorly execute a premise that already existed. Just a love letter to Ricky's atheism printed out on Hollywood glossy.

The main idea is clever and the writers have fun with it, although from a certain point on they sideline it a bit for the rather uninspired love story and the true but trite social commentary (rich bullies vs. poor but kind dudes; poor guy turns rich but he's still unhappy, etc.) that came with it. On the other hand, the cast is way more star-studded than you'd expect and Gervais has a go at religion more than once - maybe not as fiercely as in his stand-up shows but still pretty eloquently.
