Additional InformationRicky Gervais directs himself in THE INVENTION OF LYING, a comedy in which everyone in the world tells the truth except for one misfit in the film industry, who after discovering the act of lying, milks it to become the world's most phenomenal performer. When GervaisÆs character realises he doesn't have to always tell the truth, things begin to change with inevitably hilarious results. Matthew Robinson co-directs from his own script that he and Gervais collaborated on. It's no surprise that the British comedian would be able to assemble a superb ensemble of funnymen (and funnywomen) for his directorial debut, but THE OFFICE star truly impresses with this list: Jennifer Garner, Rob Lowe, Jonah Hill, and Louis C.K. co-star in the Media Rights Capital production, with John Hodgman, Tina Fey, Christopher Guest, and Jeffrey Tambor rounding out the rest of the cast.
ReviewsThe Chicago Sun-Times - THE INVENTION OF LYING is a remarkably radical comedy., The Hollywood Reporter - Gervais and Robinson take what might have been a cute concept comedy and elevate it to delicious heights., New York Magazine - However cheeky and blasphemous, this is, at heart, a rather sweet little fable. Which of course would mean nothing if it werenÆt explosively funny., Entertainment Weekly - The performances are razor sharp. And the ideas in this movie are, no kidding, big.

The Invention of Lying
This movie has a few interesting points that could have been explored much more fully. The characters are unbelievable (you can't believe they would act like that). Quite an embarrassing film in parts. Don't watch it with your mum! I felt let down and short-changed by the experience. There are a lot of funny points made and the background always has something amusing, but the plot and the script let it down. Sorry, I wanted to like this film more. **Verified purchase: Yes
