All sorted out then.

The Invention of Lying - 4.5/10. People can't tell a lie so much as they are obsessively compelled to say exactly what they are feeling at any given moment. As such, it plays out like a common and very poorly fleshed-out skit. As a testament to its inability to piece itself together, it starts off with a non-sequitur narration that explains what sort of world this is because it certainly can't use storytelling to that effect. Half into it, it escapes sentimentality and turns into The Life of Brian and suddenly becomes very funny, but then it stops being The Life of Brian and it stops being funny. It falls into the same trap as Idiocracy in that it's a great conceit that could have played for days, but it tries to paste it all into the outline of a romantic comedy.
