Wow, fabulous. While an understanding of the satyrical nature of the movie, a basic understanding of religion, and a desire to ponder the meaning of life is necessary to "get" this movie, it was beyond fabulous! while funny at times, the movie drags on and on - - despite being only 92 minutes, it felt like 3.5 hours. Good performances by all teh cast, especially Garner. However, the movie felt a bit disjointed, which was distracting. Overall, a dissapointment. Very refreshing, different and well written and acted. Stirs the mind and makes you think about what you really believe in. BORING! Got lured in by Ricky Gervais and his last movie which I really liked. Don't know what happened here - theme had lots of potential - virtually none of it was met. Very romanticized version of religion (no I'm not being sarcastic). The idea that it originates from the need to comfort oneself from, well, the world, is all very nice, but really it had a lot more to do with power structure and control. Make up stories and rules not to make people feel better but to control them. This is religion in a nutshell. Still, I really enjoyed the movie. For something called "The Invention of Lying" it has a whole lot of truth to it. Great twist on the meaning of life. Wow, I wasn't expecting this movie to offend me as it did. I was quite offended by the notion of the concept of God being formulated as a lie by a character with ulterior motivations. The opening scene's references about masturbation were totally unnecessary to plot development.
I won't be recommending this movie to anyone. if only zero stars was an option... absolutey the worst movie i've ever seen! i begged for death approximately 28 times during this movie! Finally!!!! A GOOD movie!!! Expect for the very 1st part of the movie with an actresses and actors very 'choice word'!! That could have been omitted. Wheres your originality and Creativity??? But the rest of the movie was very Creative and Funny!! It was thought provoking too. It made me think about Life itself and how to improve it where I think it needs improving. |
