This movie had a underlining message. Less than a week after someone invented lying religion is born. Basically what Ricky Gervais is saying is that all religions are a lie, i can't say he is wrong though ;). I would have thought that without religion the human race would have advanced much further than what is shown in this movie.

I liked the idea of what is supposed to be a movie in this movie. Some boring guy talking about the events that took place in history, and millions of people watch it in theaters like it is a Harry Potter movie. However the universe in witch this movie is placed seems very VERY boring to me. No tv shows, books, movies or computer games? I get the chills just thinking about it....

BTW: I did not for one second believe that love connection between Ricky Gervais and Jennifer Garner. There was no chemistry between them whatsoever. In that aspect did the movie fail miserably. Enough to give it a weak sauce.
Normally I am a Ricky Gervais fan but I think he confused honesty with saying everything that pops into the character's head. The world created would have been much more believable and entertaining if they toned down the self monologue and focused on normal dialogue being brutally honest.
