In an alternative reality, lying – even the concept of a lie – does not even exist. Everyone, from politicians to advertisers to the man and woman on the street, speaks the truth and nothing but the truth with no thought of the consequences. But when a down-on-his-luck loser named Mark (Ricky Gervais) suddenly develops the ability to lie, he finds that dishonesty has its rewards. In a world where every word is assumed to be the absolute truth.

Ghost town was a really good Gervais movie and set a bench mark for anything following it up .... The invention of lying doesnt quite make it. The idea for the film is a corker in my opinion and it starts off well enough. Ricky Gervais is so funny and his sence of humour is typical British, dry and cutting. However the film for me is a roller coaster ride, at times very clever and brilliant and then at times groaningly bad. Dont get me wrong because over the corse of the film everything pans out to create a reasonably entertaining movie which at times you will be belly laughing at. Its not Ricky's best work but well worth watching !
