Another Ricky Gervais film tonight, it is; The Invention of Lying from 2009.
We do like Ricky Gervais, although he tends to play the same character in the movies he is in. This one is slightly different as the character is not so arrogant as the previous characters Gervais has portrayed.
Synopsis;
It's a world where everyone tells the truth - and just about anything they're thinking. Mark Bellison (Gervais) is a screenwriter, about to be fired. He's short and chunky with a flat nose - a genetic pool that means he won't get to first base with Anna, the woman he loves. At a bank, on the spur of the moment he blurts out a fib, with eye-popping results. Then, when his mother's on her deathbed, frightened of the eternal void awaiting her, Mark invents fiction. The hospital staff overhear his description of Heaven, believe every word, and tell others. Soon Mark is a prophet, his first inventive screenplay makes him rich, and he's basically a good guy. But will that be enough for Anna?
