I saw two movies today, and I liked them both. When I watched The Invention of Lying, I thought, "Why has no one made a movie about this before?"
Summary:
Okay, so Mark Bellison, lives in a world where NOBODY lies. To him, they're brutally honest. One day, when he was trying to pay his rent, he told them he had more money in his bank account, and they believed him, because no one lies. He does this and helps some people out by it, but then when his mother has a heartattack, he tells her that there's a place to go to after she dies because she was afraid of eternal nothingness. It then gets out about what he said, so he tells more lies, about there being a big man in the sky and whatnot. After this, everything becomes good for awhile, but his best friend, Anna, won't be with him because of genetics. This movie also includes preformances by Rob Lowe, Tina Fey, and Jason Bateman.
I really liked this, I was laughing throughout almost the whole thing! Ricky Gervais is hilarious, and I always love his work, and this was especially great, because he also takes on very unusual movies. It was strange to see Jennifer Garner play dumb, but it was a good change for her, career-wise, because her characters are always rational, sensible, and safe, but this was different. I thought it was a great movie, showing that one tiny lie can wrap you up and you'd have problems.
This Zoe, going for two more reviews! Haha, onto the next.
