BrettHarrison's Review

Summary - Good 3.0

Ricky Gervais, who has written editorials about his atheism, takes a good natured shot at mankind and society and gets some laughs. Not a lot of them but when they come, they’re pretty strong.

Acting - Very Good 3.5

Gervais is a talented comic actor who is particularly gifted with the slow burn and the perfectly times throwaway line. Jennifer Garner is also good.

Edge - Risqué 1.7

Not risque in the classic sense but for those sensitive to religious humor, could be offensive.

Sex Titillating 2.1

Some implied stuff.

Violence Gentle 1.0

Rudeness Salty 2.1

Reality - Surreal 2.6

Takes place in a world where lying has yet to be invented and nobody believes in God because.

Biological - Surreal 2.6

Physical - Surreal 2.6
