After a couple of weeks of unsubstantiated rumors, it has been confirmed that the forthcoming film The Invention of Lying is indeed intended to satirize religion and religious believers.
New York Post critic Kyle Smith has seen the film and describes it as “a full-on attack on religion in general and Christianity in particular. It might be the most blatantly, one-sidedly atheist movie ever released by a major studio, in this case Warner Bros.”

Hollywood churns out another anti-Christian movie and no one pays money to see it. You’d think that they’d learn by now.
When will they start making anti-Muslim mobies?
After they don their explosive proof suits.
Movie ping
Include me out of watching this. I have liked all the principles actors’ work, but all are now on my black list, especially the Brit. Who does he think he is, BTW.
I saw it yesterday. It’s a little more complicated and can be interpreted in a number of contrary ways. There’s a materialist/darwinist theme that is attached to the status quo which is ultimately ‘redeemed’ by the Moses/Christ figure of the main character. I think Ricky Gervais got in over his head and lost control of the various messages he was attempting to interleave.
A quote from the movie:
Well, unfortunately, Mr. Hennessey, I have no idea how to fake killing 4,000 people - so we're just gonna have to do it for real. Blame it on the Muslims, naturally. Then I get my funding.
Pretty damn bad when the best thing at the movies is Toy Story in 3D
Is is true the Ricky Gervais, the other writer, is an atheist Jew? How much money is there in the anti-Christian industry? I've never found bigotry amusing though apparently, it's a big money maker.
Doesn’t this pony have any new tricks? Yawn....
It is funny to me that liberals are so interested in masterbation. They love to discuss it.
the worst movie I’ve seen in a long time. I like Gervais’ work, but this was beyond horrible. Even aside from the Moses bit, it was just terrible. Terrible acting. Not funny at all.
“Pretty damn bad when the best thing at the movies is Toy Story in 3D”
I KNOW! My husband mentioned after we saw this piece of junk that we’re only going to be able to see kid’s movies anymore.
“It is funny to me that liberals are so interested in masterbation. They love to discuss it.”
Ha! You know, I never realized it before, but you’re right. They do love talking about it. What IS that???
Maybe just trying to feel better about themselves? ;)
Is that what it is about? I thought that movie was about Geena Davis in tight clothes blowing stuff up.
Try going to Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs...not only my 4-1/2 yr old granddaughter loved it but her parents too!
It seems, actually, PRO-faith to me.
