"When trying to secure Philip Seymour Hoffman for his cameo his agent claimed he was too busy so Ricky Gervais requested his email address and sent him the following: "Dear Philip, will you please appear in my new film? There is very little money involved as I spent the budget on testicular implants, but don't look upon them as my testicles, look at them as our testicles." Phillip Seymour Hoffman couldn't refuse after that."- IMDB
What a novel concept, a world where people don't lie. Here Ricky Gervais creates a world where people go around telling the truth and nothing but the truth.
One day Mark (Gervais) after a streak of back luck, decides to not tell the truth. That is when his luck begins to change. Jennifer Garner is a totally vapid and shallow love interest of Mark's and she has great comedic timing. Gervais is his usual self-deprecatingly clever self and makes for one entertaining lead. The cameos make this film worth seeing just to see Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tina Fey and a nearly unrecognisable Edward Norton. A very clever premise and a fun cast make this a very entertaining film.
Bite: Very well done and tons of great cameos!
