I don't think "The Invention Of Lying" is directly trying to be a remake of Jim Carrey's Liar, Liar but it doesn't seem to be copping to the obvious similarities in plot either. Ricky Gervais (from the original version of The Office via the BBC) has co-written and co-directed this thinly veiled flick. The smart thing that will probably save this movie is the star-studded cast including Jennifer Garner and Rob Lowe, to name a few. I love Ricky, but I hope he can show some acting chops beyond his usual persona. Check it out and see what you think...
