The Invention of Lying, Ricky Gervais & Matthew Robinson, 2009

The directorial debut of Gervais, an otherwise talented comic, writer, and producer, is nothing short of a colossal failure. Baffling story logic, nonsensical plotting, and general ineptitude on most every level make this high concept fable an excruciating undertaking. What's more, the directors borrow Woody Allen's patented Windsor serif font for the credit sequence, an unforgivable offense given the waste that follows.
