   Is the invention of lying a good movie?

   • It doesn't quite follow through on its promise, and relies too heavily on shopworn romantic comedy tropes, but The Invention of Lying is uncommonly sly and funny. Not funny or surreal enough to distract you from its shortcomings and not subversive enough, if at all, to actually have something to say.
