The Invention of Lying

 By Kegan Penovich
 
    A world where you must tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is the world in which the film The Invention of Lying takes place. But then an unassuming "chubby, snub-nosed" man, as the movie often refers to him, stumbles into the world of dishonesty. He uses this new gift to form the world that had taken advantage of him into a world to serve him and his agenda. However, he finds a new reason for his talent in helping people.
    The movie was much more touchy-feely than expected, I didn't mind that though.  The humor was excellent enough to balance it out even for the most obtuse among us.
    The main role is played by Ricky Gervais and the the main supporting role is played by Jennifer Garner. It is written and directed by both Ricky Gervais and Mathew Robinson. Due to the nature of the film, it would be a questionable date movie.  
    Overall, the movie was terribly entertaining and I found it to be extremely satisfying. I'd love to see it again. Just be aware that it is rated PG-13 for language, sexual content, and a drug refrence.
