“The Invention of Lying” Movie Review

“The Invention of Lying” Plot Summary

A comedy set in a world where no one has ever lied, until a writer seizes the opportunity for personal gain.

Seen before story, but still a funny and sweet story

A fun comedy that shouldn’t be taken too seriously

The story itself is a very classic fairytale of someone who is at the bottom of the social list, but suddenly gets all that he/she wants. It’s seen before and not a very creative storyline; however Ricky Gervais has put in a lot of creativity

Ricky Gervais is perfect in this role, but he’s a little too comfortable in the lovable looser role with deep insights to his surroundings. His three big hits as a main character after The Office has been almost the excact same character: Extras, Ghost Town and The Invention of Lying. He does it perfectly and with a Babel tower of charm, but it would be nice to see him in a different role

All in all, I enjoyed the movie, regardless of it’s flaws. It has a very mellow and calm mood, which works very well.

I liked it.

Like I said, I liked it

I don’t know why the comments I’ve been seeing on this movie are so negative. I think the trailer was an accurate depiction of the movie

The only thing that I didn’t expect was that the movie takes a more serious turn some way in. However, the laughs never completely stop (although they do slow down a lot in the third act), and the first two acts are definitely funny enough to make up for this

I would recommend this movie to anyone who liked Liar Liar, Yes Man, or The Truman Show. (Or anyone who likes Ricky Gervais enough to see him in a quasi-serious role).

Original, funny, and heart warming comedy

The right wing Christians and other religious zealots are all up in arms because anything (including a fictional movie) that could challenge (or even offer a concept) outside their reality is nothing more than blasphemy…. It sad and kind of funny at the same time

For those with an open mind that aren’t blinded by dogma, this movie is non-stop laugh out loud fun. Of course it points out many of societies traits and looks at what would be left if these traits were removed. Then they create a world never before seen for the setting of this film

The story and editing were just about perfect with this imagined world where the concept of lying, fiction, faith, and fairy tales had never existed. The film then takes us on an emotional roller coaster of what if just 1 person figured out how to deceive. What could be obtained? How would everyone else react?? Could that person still live their life and not abuse this new found power??? All these questions and more are addressed in an amazingly original, funny, and most of all heart warming romantic comedy (remember a fictional one you zealots…) Watch and enjoy…
