In a world where humankind has never developed the ability to tell a falsehood, Mark Bellison (Ricky Gervais) - an overweight, under-wealthy, unappreciated average bloke - stumbles upon a miraculous way of increasing his social status... he tells the world's first lie. Now, with the help of some serious porkies, he gets promoted, wins big at the casino and becomes the head of an impromtu religion - but will his lying ways help him get the girl of his dreams? |

The Observer - Xan Brooks | Screenrush Barometer: |
| 'Ricky Gervais's new comedy is glossy, but honestly subversive' |
| Evening Standard - Andrew O'Hagan | Screenrush Barometer: |
| 'Despite its flaws, The Invention of Lying is Gervais's best film outing to date. It draws his talent into alignment with some comedy classics, and shows that he has the intelligence to go for invention and originality, for screwball comedy and good writing, where others might have stuck with the safer plainness of The Office.' |

BeetleJulz - on 05/10/2009 | Great movie - the plot is not unique but definitely done with a nice twist and made very humorous by Ricky Gervais' talented use of humor.
Not an award-winner, but a great movie overall; and a must-see for those who like British humor, Two thumbs up from me |
