The Invention of Lying is a farfetched idea that I can’t fathom as a funny movie although the movie includes Ricky Gervais, Rob Lowe, Tina Fey and Jennifer Garner. 

The story is about a world where no one ever lies. Gervais plays a performer who tells the first lie and harnesses the power of lying for personal gain.  The movie is co-directed and co-written by Ricky Gervais and first-timer filmmaker Matthew Robinson and opens September 25, 2009.
