Terrible movie. It's stupid from the outset because it's a 2005-era atheist emotional plot that really thinks it's clever. It isn't. I saw this a decade ago and on rewatch, all I remember is being so let down that "must tell the truth" means blabbing whatever is on your mind. Gee, there's a reason most people don't remember this movie. It's a bad rewrite of the great, comedic, "Liar Liar", only it's now acting snooty because it was written after a bottle of Scotch and a Richard Dawkins book

It's a very forgettable movie. I watched it awhile ago, thought it was ok then. I watched it today, because i literally forgot i watched it before. 15 minutes into the movie i was like "awe man, I've seen this already". I watched it again anyway because i forgot what happened. Mediocre movie with mediocre celebrities.

Good premise, and fun for the first 20 minutes or so. Then it seems that the screenplay was passed from one person to another.
