The invention of lying

If weren't for lies, truth won't be truth! Imagine living in a world, where no one lies. All everyone says is the truth, and by that I don't mean "honesty is the best policy" kind of truth, I mean really the truth, like a Pepsi Ad with a tag line that says: Pepsi: when they don't have coke! or imagine going out on a first date and the middle of dinner, the girl says, in a very of fact manner: so i dont think I will be going out with you again, because we will never marry, with your gene pool, we will end up with little fat kids with snub noses, I dont want that!!!!

This is the honest world that Mark (Ricky Gervais) inhibits, he is fat, no girl-friend, an unsuccessful writer...a loser, in short. By chance he discovers that a little fibbing did not hurt anyone. When his mother's on her deathbed, scared at what lies in the after-world, Mark conjures up a fiction. The hospital staff overhear his description of a happy after life, with all the loved ones waiting on the other side, and the heaven. They belive every word of this story and tell others. This sets a hilarious set of events, that change Mark's life!

Do watch the movie for the fantastic deadpan acting talent of Ricky Gravis (of the, The Office fame), ably supported by Jennifer Garner. It's a radical comedy which does not fail to deliver.

More honest truth from the movie? here goes

...I'm just too far out of your league...
...your baby is so ugly, it's like a little rat...
...yes, that dress makes you look fat...

Watch the movie for more, but then again there are some matters, where honesty is really the best policy, what are those? well, there is only one way to find out...
