Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell.

All sorted out then.
The Invention of Lying - 4.5/10. People can't tell a lie so much as they are obsessively compelled to say exactly what they are feeling at any given moment. As such, it plays out like a common and very poorly fleshed-out skit. As a testament to its inability to piece itself together, it starts off with a non-sequitur narration that explains what sort of world this is because it certainly can't use storytelling to that effect. Half into it, it escapes sentimentality and turns into The Life of Brian and suddenly becomes very funny, but then it stops being The Life of Brian and it stops being funny. It falls into the same trap as Idiocracy in that it's a great conceit that could have played for days, but it tries to paste it all into the outline of a romantic comedy.

I don’t think I have really.
I don’t see that change is always good. A lot of people think that change for some sake is good, but it’s not true, you know. Sometimes the old shit is better and you invent yourself out of a good time.

Johnny Horsecock.
Extract - 7/10. Sometimes you got to fuck up your life to set it right. Broader comedy than his previous efforts, but without the bigger ideas of 'Office Space' or 'Idiocracy.' It's very likeable, and a better movie than 'Idiocracy,' but it's just not very deep.

Once a crowd chased me for an autograph.
"Beat it," I said, "go sit on a tack!" "We made you," they said.
"Like hell you did," I told them.
"Like hell you did," I told them.
