The Invention of Lying stars Ricky Gervais, Jennifer Garner, and Rob Lowe. In this movie, the world has not yet
evolved to where people can tell a lie. Everyone must speak the honest truth, no matter how awful it sounds. In this world,
Mark Bellison (Gervais) is an unsuccessful lecture film writer cursed with writing about the "awful" fourteenth century. One
night, he goes on a date with the beautiful Anna McDoogles (Garner). Anna does not look forward to the date at first, and
she only dates him because she doesn't want to be alone for the rest of her life. After the date, Anna does admit to having
a better time than she thought she would, but she can't keep seeing him because of his looks and his lack of success. The
next day, Mark is fired from his job due to lack of viewer interest in his films and is facing homelessness. That is, until
he develops the ability to lie the next day, when he overstates the balance of his bank account, and the bank employees
believe him. Mark uses his newfound ability to his advantage to write the very first fiction lecture film, which becomes
dubbed "the best screenplay ever written, by anyone." He also accidentally creates religion when he tells his dying mother
"how great the afterlife will be" in order to cheer up her spirits. He gets the world to believe in "the man in the sky,"
and that one will have a great eternal life after one dies so long as one doesn't do more than "three bad things" in one's
life on Earth.
