Ricky Gervais has explained how he'd like his new film The Invention Of Lying to be reviewed, in a post on his blog. The comedian and actor wrote, "Dear critics (everyone), when judging the film, please remember that it is a high concept, PG 13 romantic comedy. It's not Schindler's List or The Godfather,"
Ricky goes on to explain, "If you compare it to serious works of genius it will not fare that well. If you compare it to many other light-hearted comedy movies it will do rather well. I know full well that some will hold it up to scrutiny like I think it is Citizen Kane. But I don't. One reviewer said that the Extras Christmas Special was sub-Dickens. Really? An episode of a sitcom wasn't as good as the greatest storyteller of the last 500 years maybe? Poor. Very poor."
