If you are a Christian you will hate this movie. The entire purpose of which is to portray God as a lie and Christians as mindless idiots. Had to walk out of it is was so over the top.

The movie is not sure what it wants to be. Is it a dark comedy or an anti-religion movie? Or both? The marketers took the funniest scenes and showed them in the previews: this led everyone to believe that it was a straight comedy. It is not very funny, just full of irony and bitterness.

I went to this movie expecting something more along the lines of Liar, Liar--just straight up comedy. I hardly expected it to turn into a tirade mocking Christianity. As a Christian, I generally just steer clear of things that may offend me and let others say and view what they want. However, the ads for this movie completely mask the fact that the biggest lie the movie focuses on is the concept of religion. I am absolutely disappointed and angry that someone would market something so one-sided and offensive as a comedy as a means to get a bigger audience.

There is alot of hate being written about this great movie. Mostly religious folk are upset because in a world without any fiction whatsoever, religions can't be started. This is a clever movie that touches on human nature, and the relationship between truth and cruelty. This movie just really connected with me as something that everyone should see. I enjoyed that the initial premise that the world is completely without lies stays true (with the exception of the main character) and nobody else is able to 'grasp' the concept of lying. This of course makes many scenes seem very uncomfortable to people who are used to 'white lies' and 'pleasant untruths'. The ads make this movie look like he abuses the power of lies and it corrupts him, but the actual movie goes the opposite direction. Don't bring close minded people to see it, because they simply won't understand it.

the premise of the movie is supposed to be about how one man has the ability to lie, whereas no one on the planet has even felt inclined to tell a lie. But the whole honesty thing got very old, very quick. The screenwriting was terrible, I think me and my wife let out a chuckle at the first thirty seconds of the movie, but that was it. We almost left the theatre three times but had to remind ourselves that we spent $7.50 a piece so we toughed it out. Don't waste your money, rent it if you feel so inclined, but go see something else if you make a trip to the theatre.
