Review of The Invention of Lying (2009) by Betsy Sharkey for Los Angeles Times — 28 Jun 2017
Ultimately it's the characters who are the joke -- too thin, too vacuous, too unlikable for us to care what happens in the next 30 minutes, much less for the rest of their lives.
Too bad, really, because the truth is Gervais is a very funny guy. The ugly truth is that The Invention of Lying isn't -- funny, that is.
