The Invention of Lying

This movie was, decent, but nothing special. It wasn't anything more than one of those gimmecky movies, where you can sum it up in one sentence. I think in general a movie should take more than one sentence to give a full synopsis. In this case: Humans have not yet developed the ability to lie, one man makes this discovery and takes an advantage of his newfound ability. Lying.

Yeah, its a funny idea, and it was executed really well, but a movie like this can only be so good. I love Ricky Gervais, and have an amazing amount of respect for him seeing as he created the inspiration for one of my all time favorite shows. Even Jennifer Garner who I generally dont like, I liked in this. And of course some other favorites helped me enjoy this movie, like Tina Fey and Jonah Hill. Even Louis C.K. a hilarious stand up comedian whose been appearing in tv and movies more often. My suggestion is, if you have some friends over and are hanging out, looking to have a good laugh, maybe try this movie out. However, if you are looking on Demand, there are definitley better movies to watch.
