'The Invention of Lying' is High-Concept Done Rightnew
As a high-concept comedy, Invention gets to cover a lot of ground, from commercialism to religion and societal conventions. Fortunately, Gervais actually has insight into most of those issues, which means the film never gets overly sanctimonious.

"13 Going On 30" Rips Off "Big" Minus the Charmnew
