Ricky Gervais Invents Lying, Hangs Out with Tina Fey and Louis CK
When I first read about Ricky Gervais (easily among my favorite living comedians) making a film with Louis CK, Tina Fey, Christopher Guest, Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Bateman, Patrick Stewart, John Hodgman and Jonah Hill, I knew it would be something I'd want to see.
Somehow, I'm still blown away by how funny and fresh this movie looks. It's an odd, abstract premise (in a universe where everyone is purely honest at all times, one guy figures out that he can lie without consequences) and it sounds gimmicky, but the jokes certainly seem to work. It could just be a perfect fit for Gervais' acerbic, smugly superior persona.
Here's hoping that Gervais has created his third masterpiece. This is now officially among my most anticipated films of the year.

That's one heck of a cast, I saw the trailer and knew I wanted to see it but this is the first i've heard about the cast.
