Overall Rating: 4
Stars: Ricky Gervais, Jennifer Garner, Rob Lowe
Genre: Mature Audience Comedy



Gervais’ production of “The Office” was a TV comedy success in both this country & Britain. Hence, movie-goers had high hopes for this one. But it falls flat. It opens with Gervais’ character losing his job and being told by Garner on the first date that he is not in her class. He proceeds to invent a sequence of lies, becomes a celebrity, and consequently, more interesting to Garner. There doesn’t seem to be much more to this movie and the laughs are not all that hilarious.
