People all over the world are telling the truth, only one person has learned to tell lies, what a great idea! It's a pity that Ricky Gervais made the male protagonist he created too honest and kind, and he hardly used any pranks to satisfy his own little desires, that is, he did not help the audience to satisfy their own little desires. Of course, it was not enjoyable to watch. Helping homeless people to get money is completely for the benefit of others, so it can't be counted. At most, the lie about drunk driving is for oneself, but it is really nothing new, but Edward Norton's appearance shocked me.
Jennifer Garner is as cute as ever, and it can be said that Ricky Gervais is indeed unworthy. It can be seen that this film is deliberately avoiding the stereotype of lying to deceive the girl, causing misunderstanding and then eliminating the misunderstanding, but avoiding the stereotype does not mean giving up the plot conflict. Jennifer's character seems to have a good reason for rejecting the male lead, but all fools know that it will eventually happen. Overturned, not to mention that Rob Lowe is not a very handsome guy. I didn't think he was handsome when I watched "The White House". Now that he is old, there is nothing to watch. He looks even older than Ricky Gervais. Not at all convincing.
What is the difference between a "white lie" and a "malicious lie"? Should prejudice-induced inaccuracy be considered truth or lies? Should the lie continue to be lied to, or should the lie end with the truth? . . . These are topics that are well worth exploring, and can lead to a lot of dramatic conflict, but are not discussed in depth in the film. On the contrary, it is not wise to make a big fuss on the well-known topic of "people in the sky".
If I didn't see that all the familiar faces were impeccable in performance, I really wanted to give this film two stars, because it wasted such a great subject.
