Rating: (out of 5) ***
If you could lie about anything, anything, what would about?
The story is about a man in a world that cannot tell a lie. He, under life's pressure, is forced to tell the world's very first lie. We understand from the actor's outstanding performance that it is impossible for anyone to tell a lie, apart from him. Gervais, who is the director and the main actor did a great job. The movie is fun and entertaining, especially for younger children. However, the movie does have some light adulterated comedy, in a few scenes. I, being a fan of Jennifer, found her acting fantastic. A great comedy to watch with the family on a day off.
Now, since this movie is very original, i found that at first it was hard to tell if it was going to end. However, an hour past the movie, the ending became very predictable; especially the childish love between the two main characters. This did not affect, in any way, how fond i am of the whole story and it's character development; this is revolved mainly around Anna (Jennifer Garner) as she begins to realize the true meaning of love and understanding between two people who are meant to be.
For children, the story does focus on the importance of love and the deniability of lying to your loved ones. There is a huge amount of comedy, it does make you chuckle at times. A classic, Gervais managed to portray a great visual representation of the power of lies and liars; showing how they get an advantage over everyone.
Giving this movie 3/5 stars for it's unsurpassed creativity and imagination. Would definitely watch it again with friends, it'll give us a good laugh.
