To Tell You the Truth

The Invention of Lying was not good. That is exactly how it would have been reported in the fictional world created by co-writer, co-director, and star Rick Gervais. It's unfortunate that Ricky would lay such an egg. He is such a tremendous talent in the world of comedic acting.

Forget that I am a Christian and believe in God. The part of the movie where he essentially pokes fun at religion isn't what makes the movie bad (although it adds to it). The dialogue in terms of how people tell you precisely what is on their mind. I mean they don't even hold back. It should be called The Invention of Lying and Tolerating Over-Sharing! Seriously? Do they have to say everything? A simple yes or no question turns into an unwanted reasoning behind each answer. Nobody has thoughts or inner monologue. It all barfs its' way onto the scene in this film.

Yes, Ricky is still funny in this but that is only parts of the movie. I loved all the cameos throughout the movie. Here is the deal. I'm really hoping Ricky can be in a better movie next go around. Hopefully, he doesn't start turning out Will Ferrell performances. And I used to really love Will Ferrell. But he has been tanking with his last films that have come out. Probably the last 4 or 5 have not been good. Here is to hoping Ricky turns things around. He is way too funny and brilliant to keep this cycle of horridness going.

That is pretty much all I have to say. I rarely tell people to flat-out not see a movie. I'm doing it this time. My apologies.
