finally something decent comes around

Imagine a world in which you tell someone exactly whats on your mind about them. Its dull, blunt, very truthful, no one has an opinion for themselves, and sometimes it's down right predictable, this is the world Mark Bellison (Ricky Gervais) lives in. However, mark's life is dull he is facing the fact that he is about to lose his job at lecture films (or paramount pictures in our world). Also Mark finds himself very interested in Anna McDoogles (the always very good Jennifer Garner) a women who is looking for family and kids. Then one day Mark realizes that he can tell people false truths or lies and they will believe him, because living life in a predictable world you are always looking for the unexpected in the expected. Ricky Gervais's directing debut(alongside Mathew Robinson) is different and worthwhile. This film is simple and yet it gets away from your average run of the mill romantic comedy. so if different is your type of movie , this is my recommendation. The Invention of Lying also stars Jomah Hill, The very funny Jeffrey Tambor, Louis C.K., Rob Lowe (in a different role than he normally is cast in), and the always entertaining Tina Fey. The cameos are great and even a little surprising.
