Entertainment Reviews:
A high-concept, laugh-free over-indulgence that blows up terribly in the face of its smug star.

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.

WORLD
Between laughs, LYING uses it skewed reality to comment on our own need to create useful fictions to wallpaper over the abyss.

[T]he performances are razor sharp. And the ideas in this movie are, no kidding, big. -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3.5/5 --
The comedy is definitely there, but a heavy romantic focus drags it down in parts.

Moviedex
Rating: 3/5 --
As mildly amusing as it can be in places, it still won't convince non-fans that Gervais can play anything other than the fool.

3.5 stars out of 5 -- The film is loads of fun and boasts an all star comic cast....Their spirited interaction with this clever script is worth the price of admission alone.

Product Description:
It's no surprise that Ricky Gervais would be able to assemble a cast of funnymen (and funnywomen) for his directorial debut, but THE OFFICE star truly impresses with this list: Jennifer Garner, Louis C.K., Tina Fey, Christopher Guest, Jeffrey Tambor, and Jonah Hill. THE INVENTION OF LYING stars Gervais (who co-directed and co-wrote the script with Matthew Robinson) as a man living in a world where no one tells lies. When he discovers that he doesn't have to always tell the truth, things begin to change with inevitably hilarious results.
