Oct 2 2009 - 5:45am In his Hollywood directorial debut, Ricky Gervais takes us to an alternate universe where honesty makes the world go round. It's not just that lie-telling is an impossibility; everyone can't help but speak their minds at all times, no matter how personal, embarrassing, or brutal their innermost thoughts may be. The premise of
The Invention of Lying is rife for comedy, but the film is also a commentary on religion and has its sad moments as well.

i'm looking forward to it, i've never seen ricky in anything that i didn't absolutely love!
1I was a little disappointed in Ghost Town but hopefully this one is better!
2just saw it last night - it could have been a lot better but it was still really cute. brought up a lot of religious questions and its true it was trying to be both philosophical and romance at the same time!
3I wasn't impressed. It was kind of slow and i found myself getting rather bored, except for the parts with Jennifer Garner who lights up the screen with her energy.
4I found a really good revie of the movie:
