The Invention of Lying is a hilarious comedy about a man who just doesn’t know how to tell the truth.

While the concept has been used in past films such as Jim Carrey’s Liar Liar, this new release uses the idea in a more realistic and just as entertaining way.

Living in a world where people can only tell the truth, the humour of a lie is made even more interesting.

Starring the British comic Ricky Gervais, who plays the main character Mark Bellison, a down-on-his luck screenplay writer who stumbles across a ‘lie’ and how it could have the potential to drastically alter his life.

It all begins when he finds himself on a blind date with a woman who, as she tells him due to her inability to lie, that he is not good looking enough for her.

The anger motivates Mark to lie about his life to make it better.

He realizes that through the art of lying, he has the ability to make the world what he wants, make people think what he wants them to think, and have who his heart desires.

The Invention of Lying is the first feature film for Gervais, and he has definitely impressed in his debut.

The film does a great job of enticing viewers and taking them on the emotional journey with the main character.

Out now in cinemas across the country, The Invention of Lying is a great humorous look at life, and the art of lying.
