BILLY LIAR is another kitchen sink drama that didn't make much of an impact on me; the star's LONELINESS OF THE LONG DISTANCE RUNNER seemed to have much more to say, whereas this feels like a mild satire. The main character is a Walter Mitty-style fantasist whose imaginings and flights of fancy get more than a little annoying before long, while the usual romantic interludes and family drama are strictly by rote.
