Review of The Invention of Lying

I really quite enjoy this movie. I just watched it for a second time, and yes, there are some issues - like how, the people don't just tell the truth, they actually seem to feel the need to vocalize everything they are thinking - but overall, I just love the idea of the innocence of a world where no one lies...and then having that world exposed to one person who discovers he can say things that aren't true.

Jennifer Garner and Ricky Gervais are well matched, and she plays her role very well. I just think this movie was well done from the writing, to the casting, to the acting. And when it came out, I was working in a video store, and it was one of the movies that was rented a lot that came back with the most positive reviews from all different types of people.
