Caught this on the plane ride home (INSTEAD OF THE CANADA RUSSIA GAME...SOB!!!! They didn't have it on the inappropriately named "Vancouver 2010 Air Canada" flights)...

VERY promising premise which was QUITE amusing at first, then distracting, then tiring as the movie went on about 30 minutes past its "Best Before" date...

The schtick is no-one on Earth has ANY concept of lying, everyone tells the truth and apparently says WHATEVER's on their mind - I began wondering if WITHHOLDING information was a form of lying because most of the charaters had verbal diharrhea - ex: "You're fat, I don't find you attractive and I won't sleep with you" Does this NEED to be said? What if she just didn't say anything at all...would that be lying? If so, then everyone should be saying EVERYTHING on their mind all at once...no?

You can see how my mind wandered...

Ricky Gervais is a master at dead-pan delivery and does his same old thing in this movie...he's funny, but like Seth Rogan, his thing is starting to wear thin...

And I didn't quite BUY Jennifer Garner's reason for not "mating" with him - that she didn't want genetic material that would make her kids "fat" with "stubby noses"...oh, and what about FARKING SAILS for ears there, Jenn-Jenn...?

In the end - it WAS cute...LOTS of fun cameos and a hit-and-miss thinly veiled jab at religion and zealousy...not bad for a free movie watched in the back of an airplane chair.

Though the IN-FLIGHT magazine PROMISED "Zombieland" would be playing....fuck you Air Canada, and fuck your NO hockey-game playing policies...

Though, only in Canada would they interupt the playing of the Airplane's safety features to announce Canada just scored!

Flap those ears and flyfly away, J.G.!
