What´s the plot?
‘The Invention of Lying’ is a new romantic comedy from Ricky Gervais, set in an alternative world where the concept of lying does not exist and everyone – from politicians to advertisers – tell the truth all the time.

When Mark, one of life’s losers, suddenly discovers the ability to lie, his luck begins to change. Soon Mark’s newfound dishonesty has led to fame and fortune, and the whole world begins to hang on his every word. But, try as he might, Mark’s lies cannot help him to win over the woman he loves.

Well, I thought that it was so funny! It had a great story but got a little bit long and i did get bored towards the end! Anyway, I loved the film, it was so funny. Sometimes it was onnly me in the whole cinema laughing out loud and my friends got a bit annoyed cos i was laughing so much! MUST SEE!

I should declare from the outset that I am a big Ricky Gervais fan. Accordingly, it pains me to say that this film is a very weak vehicle for his talents. Yes there are a couple of funny moments, but the overall sense is one of disappointment. It says something about this film when you laugh out louder at an ad for a forthcoming Gervais/Merchant film during which they take the mick out of Ralph Fiennes.I realise that what makes people laugh is a very personal thing. However, I do not regard myself as difficult to please in that respect, but this one left me cold I'm afraid. To see Mr Gervais at his best watch The office, Extras, or one of his stand up shows.
