when i see "rob lowe," i always imagine it being said by jiminy glick

Ahhh Rob Lowe.

Last week someone pointed out to me that champagne is only champagne if its from that specific region of France.

I responded that it's much like Star Trek: TNG being superior to the original, though the original will always be more recognized. No one got the reference.

Looks pretty funny.

This has a great comedic cast and Ricky Gervais is just pure brilliant.

I am just disappointed with the lack of Stephen Merchant as a co-writer. Merchant and Gervais together is comedic gold

Saw it last night and really enjoyed this movie but I'm surprised that this movie wasn't talked about more with the whole "man in the sky" thing.

You have failed me, tww

"The trailer to the movie gave no indication of its atheistic-themed plot, but there was enough of a buzz about the agenda of screenwriter Ricky Gervais that we decided to check it out. We’re glad we did. “The Invention of Lying” is not the kind of in-your-face assault that Hollywood often serves up, but therein lies its perniciousness: because this anti-religion—make that anti-Christian—film is laced with some romance and humor, the message it sends is all the more sinister. The movie centers on a world where no one lies. But that changes when the lead character’s mother is dying and the dutiful son finds utility in spinning a tale about a place that resembles heaven, thus saving her from being consigned to an “Eternity of Nothingness.” He subsequently floats the idea that there is a God-like “Man in the Sky,” a belief accepted by most, though some cynics wonder why AIDS exists (it’s never diabetes that Hollywood flags). In mockery, the lead character later shows up looking like a fat Jesus, and an image of him appears on a stained-glass window holding the Two Tablets (of Moses), posing as if on the Cross. In the end, he and his girl are the only two people who haven’t drunk all the moonshine about “The Man in the Sky.” We at the Catholic League prefer our bigotry straight-up. We don’t like bigotry-lite, which this is not. But we also don’t like it slipped into our drink. It is not for nothing that the Office for Film & Broadcasting of the bishops’ conference slammed the movie as “morally offensive.” But we are pleased to note that the atheists still use our religion as the model, and still portray God as male. There is hope for them yet. "

saw this tonight, i enjoyed it, even if it does follow some typical romantic comedy cliches at the end. i pretty much like everything Ricky Gervais does so it didn't bother me

10/21/2009 1:52:55 AM

i thought it was pretty funny. I laughed more than the people I was with.

10/21/2009 6:08:52 PM

I like anything RIcky Gervais does so I enjoyed it. It wasn't great though.

10/21/2009 7:59:02 PM

a few laughes mixed around, but nothing really funny. in my opinion, like someone said earlier, a rental. but everyone has different tastes

10/22/2009 1:42:24 AM

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I too laughed a lot more than just about anyone else in the theater.

Some people didn't quite "get it"

The movie has it's flaws, but I think it was very entertaining and quite funny. Especially the advertisements in their world. Truth in advertisement is hilarious.

on the side of buses...
"Coca-Cola... it's popular."
"Pepsi... not quite as popular"

10/22/2009 2:42:20 AM

^yeah, the advertisements made me laugh

"Pepsi....When Coke isn't Available"

10/22/2009 2:47:14 AM

^That's right! even better!

Good memory.

(it's been a while since I've seen it)

10/22/2009 4:26:52 AM

12/30/2009 10:34:16 PM

1/30/2010 10:53:28 AM

this is on my netflix queue. weeee

1/30/2010 11:36:58 AM

I liked this movie

This movie was ok. I love Gervais but this movie tried excessively hard to be clever about religion and it fell very flat.

It was like it was under the impression it had an original thought or new way of presenting popular doubts about religion and it didn't. It was the same tired stuff you see/read everywhere.

However Gervais definitely made it watchable and enjoyable. He is one of my favorites.

Anyone else notice how they only used their computers for typing and there wasn't really an internet?
