The Invention of Lying is a quirky 2009 comedy brought to you by critically acclaimed stand up comedian Ricky Gervais (The Office, Extras, The Ricky Gervais Show) who writes, directs and stars in this one-of-a-kind film. Mark (Gervais), a failed screenwriter, is surrounded by honest people who are compelled to speak their mind and always tell the truth. But it's no wonder his creative juices are lacking when people can't see behind face value definitions. Mark resolves his stagnant career by adopting a sense of lying, which he cleverly incorporates into his writing and uses to woo Hollywood filmmakers. He suddenly has advantage over his competitors in the industry, and possibly those in the dating game as he ever-so-suavely grabs the attention of his all-time crush Anna (Jennifer Garner). The film co-stars many A-listers including Jonah Hill, Louis C.K., Jeffrey Tambor, Rob Lowe, Jason Bateman, Tina Fey and Philip Seymour Hoffman, among others. The Invention of Lying is a must see for all those who regularly enjoy Gervais' style, which is wrought with satire, dry humor, and just the right amount of British flavour.MORE[EDIT]
