Gervais is too talented to be associated with this film. Honestly it was hard to believe he directed and wrote this. Maybe one laugh in the entire film. It also falls into some of the most painfully overdone cliches at the end of the film. A good premise but it's just not as clever or smart as it thinks it is. Very disappointing. The only good part is all the badass cameos.

Leaves an unpleasant taste behind. You have to look at The Office or Extras to realize there's something fishy going on. Gervais is either a sell-out or entangled in some kind of genius hoax; Either way, this movie sucks. If you like this film and would happily recommend it to your nearest and dearest, you're a full-blown idiot. Yes, I meant that in the derogatory sense !

Could have been a funny film, but like everything produced in Hollywood with a fun premise, it quickly devolves into an awful love story / base-level morality tale. Its obvious that very little thought was put into the conception of this story.

Interesting premise that builds to a hilarious climax at a press conference where Gervais' character explains the rules of the mysterious "man in the sky" to the bewildered masses. Only problem with this climax...it's followed by another 30 almost entirely laugh-free minutes as the subversive message is clumsily tossed aside in favor of a by-the-numbers "Graduate"-lite ending, only much sappier. Turn this one off as soon as the press conference ends. Oh, and by the way...BUDWEISER. PIZZA HUT.

A sort of inversion of Liar Liar, this disappointing flick detrimentally skimps on the details of it's unique world in order to present a sappy, cliched love story. Just because no one can lie, why is everyone obligated to constantly blurt out embarrassing truths? There's a few laughs to be had from the throwaway gags, but the jabs at religion are all safe and predictable, and none of the satire has any real bite. It's not a terrible movie, but Ricky Gervais is so much better than this.

Great start, so-so middle, horrible ending. This could have made for some great satire on consumerism and exhibitionism. Gervais deserves better roles. Points for the overflow of talent in minuscule roles (Bateman, appearing for 45 sec, probably has the best line in the entire movie).

Kind of like Idiocracy, in which after a great beginning that promises some scathing satire, the film proceeds to beat its premise into the ground with unquantifiable enthusiasm. The formulaic parts here also underwhelm. I was much more interested in the world created herein -- one without deceit, guile or equivocation -- than in the romantic escapades of a snub-nosed fattie. The Coke advertisement is fucking classic, though.

It's easy to watch but with the magnitude of talent involved in this project and Gervais on script and lead this is far less than the least one expects. Gervais better stick with observational comedy than total fiction. A decent idea goes unexplored. Mainly the script fails while taking -lying- out of the equation (and reintroducing it) to give credit to intellect, everyone is totally dumb if they can't lie?

Entertaining but jumbled. It started out as a broad comedy about the only man who knows how to lie, only to take a dark turn as a story about mortality and faith, and then wind up as a frustratingly predictable romantic comedy. The cameos were good, Gervais was his typical self, Louis CK stole most of his scenes, and Jennifer Garner was okay but her whole character was wretchedly, unabashedly vain and superficial for the entire film.

Other than miscasting Jennifer Garner (which they sort of made up for with an upscale list of cameo appearances), this strange little story actually worked. It kept surprising the audience with satire, drama and outright belly laughs. And there was actually material for something more than shallow thought. The premise of the movie was not only about the human inability to lie, but the compulsion to volunteer the Truth, the source of most of the humor. Usually, they could have just shut tf up!

I will absolutely stand up for this movie, despite its tepid romantic comedy ending. For most of the movie, Gervais and Robinson manage to mix sentiment with smart satire. With that said, I think the movie will be ripe for a remake some day. The ending is really lukewarm and doesn't click with the rest of the movie.

When I first heard of it, I immediately thought that the idea is quite interesting and it will at the very least serve as a good backdrop for some snappy comedic dialogues. But I saw it and I realized what a terrible idea it was. The premise got old pretty quickly and everything felt flat and uninspired. And then I learned that Ricky Gervais himself wrote this crap and I was like "what the hell!" How could such a funny guy write something so unfunny? A terrible terrible film.

It just didn't click for me. It's weird, because I love the basic premise and more or less the entire cast right down to the cameos and I loved The Office and Extras, but the movie was just perpetually, bizarrely unfunny for the whole runtime. I had about three honest laughs through the entire 99 minutes.

I like Gervais, and I thought the concept was intriguing, but this movie is really a 'one trick pony,' and the concept gets tired in the last 30 minutes. Also, the love story was a bit saccharine. One other thing: who says that people who live in a world without lying have to be insufferable douchbags? There's a difference between lying and simply 'holding your tongue.' Overall, a disappointment.

'Tis true that comedy is usually found in the details, but if this is not your first encounter with Mr. Gervais, you will find the narrative lazy and predictable. Almost any other ending (including no ending) would have been better, choice of topics - uninspiring. If you somehow can ignore all that - the execution is not that bad, the aforementioned details exist in small talk or cardboard boxes, secondary cast are a-ok. N.B.: better Ricky Gervais content exists, go find it!

Pretty funny, witty, and charming Brittish comedy. It's presented in a fresh, crisp manner and has some good satirical ideas along the lines of faith, happiness and the human condition. Unfortunately it's a bit thin at times,and too singular in its focus. The predictability factor, is, uh, predictably too high as well! But still a good effort, and I can't say that I detested it!

About as contrived as a story can get. The ultra frankness and brutal honesty parts were hilarious at first, but it gets old pretty quick. The take on god as the man-in-the-sky is a very humorous jibe at religion as being a big fat lie. Great stuff. But, overall the story is too pretentious and there were many lost opportunities to do much more with it. Jennifer Garner was entertaining but not stellar. Rob Lowe played the arrogant ass fairly well. And the others were mostly unremarkable.

It's almost...offensive, that such a great concept was wasted on this movie. Most of the best uses of it were done with 1 liners. Why would a world where everyone tells the truth mean everyone speaks every single offensive thought that crosses their minds? Why would it make every person on the planet "mate" based on gene pool and not personality? It's hard to care about the characters where every single one of them isn't human, besides Gervais.

I enjoyed The Invention of Lying, but not as much as I hoped I would. Yes, there were plenty of funny parts, but the forced romance between Matt and Anna slowed the film down, and was also boring. These parts lacked emotion and humor, dragging the rest of the picture down. The rest of the film was funny though, and I found myself laughing or chuckling more often than not. Not excellent, but likely worth a watch, especially if you are a fan of Gervais.

Nice to see Gervais hasn't lost his touch after the terrible Ghost Town. But he's the cowriter here & though it's not Office funny(what is?) there's a witty insightful script here that goes far beyond the 1-note premise promised by the trailers.He smartly moves on to infinitely bigger subject matter& though that creates some questions, the movie is far better for it.Gervais also shows off some impressive previously unseen acting chops in a surprisingly moving scene, while Garner shines, as usual

A movie that had the chance to be great, but instead ended up being slightly above mediocre. The film is definitely helped along by great performances by Ricky Gervais and his supporting cast, especially the slimy Rob Lowe. However the film is brought down by the less-than-effective satire of Christianity and odd inconsistencies that pop up in the movie. I am a huge fan of Gervais but I can easily say I was let down here. Also, the constant cameos were a bit jarring.

While I appreciate the atheistic message, this film felt a bit boring. Mostly because it's a very typical and predictable romantic comedy with a twist. I really like Ricky Gervais and I was pleasantly surprised to see so many familiar and well-known faces, but that was not enough for me to truly enjoy this film. Some funny moments, some good emotional moments, but the plot has some big holes and inconsistencies, I feel like the premise could have been explored much, much better. Average film.

As an atheist I can appreciate Ricky Gervais' attempt at creating a mainstream story that touches on the issue of religion and it's power of deception on the world. It also had a lot of awesome cameo's but in the end it just wound up being unfunny, contrived and just pretty bad overall. I laughed a few times but not often enough whatsoever. I watched for about an hour just to see what would happen in the end which I saw coming from a mile away regardless.

Do you ever watch the trailer of a movie and think.."Hey! That could make a good movie." Well this movie was sort of like that for me. I sorta liked the concept of a place where everyone told the truth and one guy figures out he could lie. The way he uses his power of lying is really lame. He is too nice of a fella to abuse the privilege. While a lot of fun could be had, the movie holds back and it is very uninteresting to me. Kind of a pointless movie. Don't watch it.

So what if humanity were hardwired to tell the truth, unable to tell a lie or even make up a story... until one day Ricky Gervais discovers that he can make stuff up? Turns out the world would be exactly the same except everyone would be a lot ruder. This is supposed to be funny. Then Ricky invents religion, leading to some rather unsubtle potshots in all directions. Then it all becomes a very clichéd romcom. Dull, dull, dull.

It was ok, but I don't think it did enough with the concept, or developed its "universe" enough. I also think it was a weird decision to focus on religion the way they did. I'm surprised I didn't hear more buzz about people getting really offended at that. One thing I would've liked to see it do is address the world of politics. That could have made for some really funny scenes.

There are things to like in this movie. Garner is surprisingly good, it's amusing, has a fair degree of charm, & clearly has good intentions. It's nice to see an attempt to make a real uplifting movie. That said the concept is flawed at almost every turn this movie makes. Far too often the notion of a truthful world falls flat & becomes unbelievable. This film comes apart in its last half, & ends up feeling underdeveloped. Further points deducted for Fionnula Flanagan's awful English accent!

While the initial concept of a man discovering the positive effects of lying, in a world of stark honesty, can lead to some very funny and heartwarming moments, The Invention of Lying veers off into the cynical territory of social commentary with a very dull subplot involving the main character inventing religion. Add to this a completely forced romance (Gervais and Garner don't have much chemistry) and flat pacing that leaves the film a gimmick concept that couldn't justify its length.

While I appreciate that this film won't work for everyone, it certainly worked for me. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face (well, except the sad parts). Is it sacrilegious? Sure. But it comes from an honest place (no pun intended). It'd be easy to make this a bitter, cynical film, but I found it hopeful and human. The comment that most people will take issue with the film for is born out of its most moving moment. Gervais is a capable actor, and Garner plays her part perfectly. Great cameos.

For a Ricky Gervais film I was impressed, usually I don't find him funny but by no means did it have me in hysterics either. Seemingly promoting dishonesty over honesty this heavy concept based film was Ok but quite pointless.

A below average comedy film which is very silly but the idea was very clever. I feel most of the actors roles are wasted especially Jennifer Garner who is just made to look confused and smile the whole movie. Recommended only for die-hard Ricky Gervais fans.

Didn't care for most of the cliche romcom territory, but it was an ultimately enjoyable film.

The concept is so great that it makes me wonder why nobody's though of this before. Sure, not everything is executed perfectly, but just the concept is enough to carry this movie through any corny scene.

The main idea is clever and the writers have fun with it, although from a certain point on they sideline it a bit for the rather uninspired love story and the true but trite social commentary (rich bullies vs. poor but kind dudes; poor guy turns rich but he's still unhappy, etc.) that came with it. On the other hand, the cast is way more star-studded than you'd expect and Gervais has a go at religion more than once - maybe not as fiercely as in his stand-up shows but still pretty eloquently.

Eglenceli konusu ve diyaloglariyla son yillarin en cok gulduren komedilerinden birisi. Ingiliz aksani bu tarz yapimlarda pozitif faktor olusturuyor. Basroldeki Ricky Gervais kendi yazdigi senaryoda ezik tiplemeye kendisini layik gorerek cesaretli davranmis.
