The Invention of Lying

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1058017/

So this movie is about a guy who lives in a world where everyone tells the truth, and one day, all of a sudden, he's able to tell a lie, but no one knows what a lie is, so they just assume it's the truth. Great idea. Great casting with Ricky Gervais, Jennifer Garner, and all the other guest cameos. The movie started out strong, but the plot sorta took a wrong turn in the middle and really couldn't recover until the very end. I will admit though that I started to get more and more confused as the movie went along because I was trying to figure out if what the characters were saying was an opinion or a false statement. Definitely plane worthy, but not worth a Netflix queue.
