The invention of lying Report Abuse
This movie is everything. So emotional and inspiring. It's about a man in his 40's who is a loser and lives in a world where there is nothing like telling a lie or flattery. He loses his mother in one of the saddest ways possible. This part brought me down to tears. He Later on becomes one of the best writers of his century.

Sad film yes. The film didn't focus totally on the dog but a whole family functioning with a cute, dopey pet who causes chaos at every turn which, made it funny but also very emotional as you felt the sadness not just because of the dog but the family too.
