The Invention of Lying is written, directed and stars Ricky Gervais
. He is responsible for The Office
series and Extras 
so I knew that this movie would be funny. It also stars Jennifer Garner
, Jonah Hill
, Louis C.K
, Jeffrey Tambor
, Fionnula Flanagan
, Rob Lowe
and Tina Fey
. There is a great cast as you can see and there are great cameos from Jason Bateman
, Christopher Guest
, Philip Seymour Hoffman

. Ricky Gervais plays Mark Bellison in a world where everyone tells the truth to each other. He is a movie screenwriter who writes movies about historical facts as there is no such thing as fiction.

How will Mark get the girl without lying??? This is a good comedy with a lot of laughs and it is a typical Ricky Gervais comedy. His Office writing partner Stephen Merchant has a cameo as a burgled man as well. If you like The Office type humour you will like this. Rob Lowe plays his usual good looking bad guy role like in Wayne's World
. The Invention of Lying is very original and is very entertaining throughout. It wouldn't be a classic comedy but it is a good one and I would definitely recommend it to you. If you are a Ricky Gervais fan then you will really like this so check it out now!!
