Summary: Jim Carrey at the top of his game!
Review: Fletcher Reed (AKA: Jim Carrey) is a lawyer and yes he lies alot when defending his clients. He is also a divorced father of one. He never shows up on time or sometimes doesn't show up at all to any of his son Max's special events. Hurt by these actions and the lies his father tells when explaining why he is late or why he didn't show up, Max makes a wish on his birthday that his father can't lie to him for 24 hours. Unfortunately for Fletcher, it comes true!

What follows is one of Jim Carrey's best films ever. If you like Jim Carrey and haven't seen this movie yet, you will love it. The thing he does best in this movie in my opinion is his physical comedy, especially the scene where he beats himself up.

Highly recommended for Jim Carrey fans who have not yet seen this one or for anyone who likes slapstick comedy movies that have a point in the end.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pants on fire
Review: Jim Carrey puts so much energy and pure comedic brilliance into this movie that we hardly noticed how corny and hackneyed was the plot or how wearily didactic was the moral lesson for all fathers who neglect their children for the goddess of success. And really we didn't care. What we loved almost as much as Carrey's rubber mouth and oral blockage (like an overheated boiler fighting not to explode) was the premise: a lawyer that can't lie. Now there's an oxymoron! As Carrey tries to explain to his son Max, lawyers need to lie. Actually he says grownups need to lie, which is a truth that we really do not need to exam too closely here. To laugh at something deeply troubling in our nature is a way of dealing with it.

So the genius of this movie is first the talent of Jim Carrey, but second, for kids who come to the realization of adult mendacity for the first time, it is the discovery of comedy as a way to cope. Why do adults need to lie? is a question that a kid can never figure out, and then by the time he is an adult himself (or actually a teenager), he can no longer comprehend how important the question once was. Call it innocence lost, or the socialization process.

My favorite part of the movie is the courtroom scene with Jennifer Tilly dressed oh so sluttily and her adulterous beaux looking like a model for the cover of a romance novel and Carrey in tatters in his [expensive] suit. Second would be the bathroom scene in which Carrey tries to tear himself apart (and seems to almost succeed). His flapping mouth between the toilet seat and the bowl was inspired. Give some credit to director Tom Shadyac, who managed to steer the vehicle with Carrey at the controls, and to writers, Paul Guay and Stephen Mazur, who wrote some funny lines.

The great comedians totally let themselves go. They are totally on. They go to extremes and beyond. It's like transcending not just the ordinary, but even the imagined. See this obviously for Jim Carrey, one of the great comedic talents of our time, an original who would have delighted Charlie Chaplin with his extraordinary muggings, his blatant audacity and his suburb timing.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better movie for Jim.
Review: This has to be one of the most entertaining films of Jim Carrey's career, and it shows him in a really nice way. He's a person, here, who loves his son, and who has some compassion, especially when he realizes that he is a prolific liar, and the only thing he can do is tell the truth. Wouldn't that be a concept to examine!! Of course the idea is ludicrous, because a world of this kind of behavior would be counter-productive, unless it was rooted in righteousness and the love of Christ. But the movie is a good one for Jim Carrey. I enjoyed it immensely. Recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Possibly Carrey's Funniest Film. I LOVED it!!!!!
Review: No lie: this movie is outrageously hillarious. I've never laughed so hard at a Jim Carrey flick. This is, without a doubt, his funniest film ever. There was nothing wrong with the movie. I just wished that it would never end.

Jim Carrey plays a liar.....Oops! I mean a "lawyer." Phew! Saved myself on that one. Ahem. Anyway, his son is sick of being lied to by his devorced father, so he makes a wish on his birthday....that Carrey cannot lie for one whole day. As it turns out, the wish comes true. Now he can't lie about anything and is forced to tell all to anyone who is asking. How the hell is he going to be a lawyer if he can't lie?!?! The results are all too funny to mention.

The acting is great. I really enjoyed everybody who was in this film. Jim Carrey does a lot of his physical comedy that made him famous in his "Ace Ventura" films, and his facial expressions are funnier than before. The movie also had a very good plot, for it being a comedy. Usually when I go see a comedy, I don't expect too much from the plot department, but "Liar Liar" had one and a great story to back it up.

I'm glad they decided to re-release this in widescreen. Let's hope Universal does that to others. "Ahem...hint hint: 'Happy Gilmore.' Hint hint." Also, they added lots of special features that could not be found on the previous full-screen version. The picture and sound quality was really something to see and hear.

"Liar Liar" is a hillarious movie that is bound to have you laughing until it hurts. If you like Jim Carrey, or a just a good comedy that'll make you laugh, see this movie. It's a great movie on a great DVD. A very worthy purchase.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I can't lie (4.5 stars)
Review: This movie was absolutely hilarious to put it mildly.It's about a lawyer who can't lie for 24 hours because of a birthday wish made by his son.I'm kicking ... laughing at this movie,do you mind?!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you want to know the truth, it's outragously funny!!
Review: I'm a really big fan of Jim Carry movies, and this is one of my all time favorites. Carry plays Fletcher Reede, a successful lawyer who wins pretty much every case he has. Although his career is doing him good his family life isn't. He and his wife (Maura Tierney) are divorced, and they have a son, Max (Justin Cooper). Both parents love Max but Fletcher can't seem to put some time to spend with his kid especially when it comes to making partners with his boss and taking a case where it consists of him lying. Fletcher breaks his promises to his son and lies to him so his son doesn't hate him. His wife, Audrey, has had a good relationship with her boyfriend Jerry (Cary Elwes), which has been so well that he proposed to her and wants her and Max to move to Boston with him. Audrey, at first, decides to not go because of Fletcher and Max's relationship but when Max's heart is broken when Fletcher lied to him about having to much work so he can't attend his B-day party when he is really having sex, Audrey changes her mind. Max on the other hand makes a wish that his dad can't tell a lie for a whole day, which somehow comes true. As you watch this movie, your laughing will never stop as Fletcher tells the truth to the people around him (who he previously lied to so he doesn't sound like jerk). The biggest part of the movie is when Audrey gives him one last chance to spend time with Max but in order to do that he has to get though the case where he was expected to lie in. What must Fletcher do now? He has to get through a case which will be nearly impossible for him to finish because he can't lie, but if he doesn't get through court he'll lose his son. The only way to see this is if you get this movie so buy it.
