Reviews
88
In its amiable, quiet, PG-13 way, The Invention of Lying is a remarkably radical comedy.
83
The performances are razor sharp. And the ideas in this movie are, no kidding, big.
80
However cheeky and blasphemous, this is, at heart, a rather sweet little fable. Which of course would mean nothing if it weren’t explosively funny.

Miami Herald
Gervais' wickedly sly concept lingers quite awhile after the final chuckle. And that's the truth.
63
It's surprising to admit that the British comedian, known far and wide for his willingness to take risks, plays it safe in The Invention of Lying - a fault from which the movie never truly recovers.
