    The Invention of Lying

    anyone else see this last night??

    I did, it was humorous, but also blasphemous (if you're into that type of thing) but a decent flick imo

    I expected it to be a great movie but I feel like I wasted 9$. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.

    can i get some highlights? from the preview it doesnt look funny at all, despite what the critics in the commercial say. maybe im just too used to brutally dark comedy but it seems like something my parents would watch.

    With the cast they had I really expected to be laughing the whole time. It might have just been that I was expecting too much but I can only recall laughing maybe three times the entire movie.

    Was thinking about asking a chick out to see this. Guessing it's not good date material based off what you guys are saying? Sounds...pretty boring.

    Previews don't do it justice, Gervais being the atheist that he is has made it into a funny commentary on religion, something they can't bring up to the unwashed masses that make up this country.

    I actually thought this movie was pretty good. Don't know what's up with all the negativity in here

    I thought it was good. I think the first half was the best part though. After the sad part, it was funny but that's when all of the less funny parts started, too.

    Probably my favorite part:

    Spoiler: show
    Putting the commandments on pizza boxes and the later the stain-glass with him holding the boxes

    I rarely leave in the middle of a movie but I did on this one. I didn't know that not only were people going to be unable to tell the truth but to blurt out everything they were thinking too, just got super fucking annoying. All of the parts that made me smile were ones I had already seen in the previews.

    Spoiler: show
    The entire scene where he's reading shit off pizza boxes was way too drawn out.


    Waste of money.

    yea the brutal honesty instead of saying nothing was kind of annoying, but also funny at the same time lol
