   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.

   How long is Ricky Gervais 'invention of lying'?

   • The Invention of Lying, which Gervais wrote, directed, and stars in, is only a comedy for about 20 minutes. The rest is an atheistic treatise mocking anyone who believes there is a God and that He imposed a moral order on the world. Page 1 of 4, 7 total items. I’m a Ricky Gervais fan so I understand and like his humor.

   Is 'the invention of lying' a PG-13 comedy?

   • In its amiable, quiet, PG-13 way, “The Invention of Lying” is a remarkably radical comedy. It opens with a series of funny, relentlessly logical episodes in a world where everyone always tells the truth, and then slips in the implication that religion is possible only in a world that has the ability to lie.

   Is the invention of lying a romcom?

   • The Invention of Lying has some good gags... But the flat direction becomes wearisome and the story runs out of steam before it even reaches a romcom ending that is more sentimental than subversive. The Invention of Lying, which Gervais wrote, directed, and stars in, is only a comedy for about 20 minutes.

   What begins as a mildly entertaining high-concept comedy (with Woody Allen-ish credits) turns into an incredibly heavy-handed atheist satire that operates at the heady intellectual and theological level of an 11-year-old skim-reading Philosophy for Beginners.

   Sep 30, 2009 · “The Invention of Lying” isn’t strident, ideological or argumentative; it’s simply the story of a guy trying to comfort his mother and perhaps win the woman he loves. Gervais, who co-directed and co-wrote with Matthew Robinson , walks a delicate tightrope above hazardous chasms.
