a lousy film

The idea of ​​having a place where every one tells the truth? em...Boring. I didnt even finish the film.
We are now in the lie-pervasive world, and there are always some who would think: how did the first lie come into place? theres always a biginning, right? there will be the first one who lies, the first one who kills, the first one who betrays the kindness of human species. Yes, there will always be a first one, in theory. but who cares? We dont care how it begins, we live in the world as it is.
And i dont even get the point of the movie. What does it want to tell me?how we cannot live without lies? or one lie leads to another so probably we shouldnt tell lies any more? or no matter how good one intends lies are always troublesome? if it is just for comedy's sake, all i can say is, theres nothing laughable about it. Even the scene with Tina Fey doesnt make me laugh.
Lets say maybe this film is to let us think about truth and lie for a while, well, okay, this film is neither impressive nor powerful enough to take any seconds to reflect.
