The Invention of Lying


We went to see this on Sunday at 11am. I pushed back a lunch with a good friend in order to fit it in. I shouldn't have bothered. Honestly I'm not sure how such a talented guy can make such a poor movie. I don't know much of Ricky Gervais' work but I do believe that he's got great skill at what he does - being funny. This movie was NOT funny. It was long and boring and I'd happily have left half way through as I really felt there was nothing to keep me except that Garry might prefer me to stay. So I stayed. The movie continued being crap.
0/5

Anyone who saw any ads on this movie would think :o that looks funny" but the ads LIE! This movie sucked. I have yet to see a good Ricky Gervais movie. He ROCKED in the OFFICE but this movie was so boring. The thing I really hate is it could have been good. I love the line where he tells the chick the world will end unless you sleep with me....she says ok and he chickens out - I mean, come on! There should be more of that and less preaching. The worst part is the TV commercials are better then the movie. Also why does GOD have to comment in this movie. It would have been better if through the full movie he just lied to get what he wanted. Instead it turns into some moral quest that you couldn't care less about. Less God, more funny. I think Ricky has a good movie in him but time is running out. Jennifer Gardner (from Alias) looked good in the movie.

so I would say

1 out of 5
