Good show. Very original and very funny. I laughed, I cried. I plan to see it again on DVD so I can pause and rewind. Sadly, comedies don't win awards because this one would be worthy. I recommend it unless you are very sensitive about your concept of God and are offended by...( read more)
Pretty middle-of-the-road. I did laugh tons of times but it was also fairly slow all the way thru strangely. Don't be afraid to check it out, it's interesting. But..
What would the world be like if no one knew how to lie because they didn't even know what a lie is? It would be a world where it would be impossible to send out dishonest self promoting signals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_theory). It wouldn't be the world as descri...( read more)
Ricky Gervais' best yet. The man writes and performs with such simplicity and humor; and deep within are simple truths and beauty. I vow to see anything Gervais does in the future. he is just one of those few people who have earned my absolute trust.
I wasn't a fan of Ricky Gervais before I found out about this movie. Now I wanna marry him. The reason you ask? A long time ago I proclaimed (to myself of course) if a movie can make me laugh out loud during the opening credits and immediately turn my skepticism into immediate e...( read more)
Hard to put it in words with this great black comedy. I found the concept of it interesting in a society lying doesn't exist, clever. The jokes were funny but not like LoL apart from that people will have different opinions on this judging on religion. It showed a number of obese...( read more)
Really funny idea/concept, but I think they could have made it better and funnier
Very sweet I really enjoyed it. Constantly funny it may not be, but clever it is!
Fun comedy, love Ricky Gervais..doesn't disappoint...cameos were a fun surprise
Was a really good idea but i thought it didnt reach its full potential, I did really enjoy the movie I liked the way it was very funny and then they would have some serious parts to kind of even it out but I thought it was done very well and had some really good cameos. Ricky Ger...( read more)
not the biggest fan of ricky gervais and he doesn't change that in this film. some humourous moments but i found it pretty boring throughout
Another great Gervais comedy film i think this was better than his previous film (Ghost Town). Great Film!!
Definitely has its funny moments...plus I just love the part with my girl from SVU........but I didn't really like how it was mocking Jesus Christ and the Ten Commandments........like I like some movies that kinda mock Christianity but at least they advertised themselves to do so...( read more)
Watched the trailer, didn't appeal. I think it's Mr Gervais. I just don't get his appeal.
The world where everyone tells the truth and movies are history lessons is a scream. Some may and do not like how the Invention of Lying leads to religion. I don't mind myself.
A quaint idea that earns some laughs but then is buzz-killed by a sappy love story. Sure people can't lie...but does that mean EVERYTHING about them comes out in the first second. It should be the invention of shutting up (lets start with Gervais).
If the religious aspect was just left out all together, a lot more people would have loved it I think
A clever idea... bad presentation... and if you believe in God at all... definitely skip it.
Brilliant, just bloody brilliant! This isn't quite an outright rom-com, or all out comedy, as there are several very weighty dramatic parts, but it painted a smile on my face the whole time, and Grevais is great as the lead, and Jennifer Garner gives a very surprising and powerfu...( read more)
I was kind of disappointed with this film. I love Ricky Gervais and his performance was hilarious, as usual, but the rest of the cast didn't really deliver. Jennifer Garner just annoyed me in this movie. The plot was really creative, though.
What do you get when you add a over-rated British actor with the ugliest woman on the face of the planet? The worst movie ever created!
I adore Ricky Gervais' humor, and it's easy to tell that he had a hand in writing this film, which is one of the more original comedies, and certainly romcoms, I've seen in ages. Enjoyable, sometimes emotional, and always entertaining. It feels nice to see something new.
A new fresh idea, which is hard to come across these days, and Gervais playing a different character, so end result, good film.
Ricky Gervais is his usual hilarious self-deprecating fat average guy in this and it works. The film isn't perfect, but it manages to be a romantic, funny, dramatic film that asks a lot of questions. Gervais pulled in anyone and everyone for a part in this practically and some...( read more)
