The Invention of Lying
I rented this last night and it was funny. Did anyone else see it? I'm amazed that the movie didn't get protested for flat out calling religion and god a lie.

Re: The Invention of Lying
So there was some stink about it, but it didn't become a big deal.
Still, Ugh.

Re: The Invention of Lying
The movie had A LOT of star power in it, and there were some very funny moments, but the pacing felt really slow and I think I could have been more effective and entertaining as a 20 or 40 minute short.

I rented it it via iTunes and watched it at work recently. I liked it even though I agree with Spraksy that it was a bit slow at times.

Re: The Invention of Lying
Recently caught this and enjoyed it too. Pacing was a bit off, but I am surprised that someone made a movie all about how Christianity was just made up by some guy and there weren't more protests and boycotts. Almost like since it was a comedy, it was ok. But if it had been a serious film, people would have rioted. Odd.
Without condoning... or condemning. I understand.
