Audience Member Such an enjoyable comedy film! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review alan g It might be a one joke movie but Jim Carrey pulls it off. Great twist at the end. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/15/24 Full Review Audience Member Lying never solved anything especially for Fletcher Director Tom Shadyac makes one Jim Carrey's biggest comedies of the 1990s Here he plays a lawyer that's so caught up in his job he forgets about his ex wife and son's needs on a daily basis Fletcher has so much going on he has no choice but to lie to make up for it His son Max for his birthday is so desperate to have his father back that he makes a wish; for an entire day Fletcher cannot lie This turns into a big nightmare for him as he can't get through one second of it getting him into trouble Worse is that his firm assigns him a case for him to avoid telling the truth But maybe Fletcher could learn from all the fibs he's been making up Jim Carrey utilizes his comic timing in every way here even with a premise as simple as this A man who bends the truth to his will goes through the ultimate ordeal coming to terms with his actions Even the custody case he's working on gives him a sense of clarity of how his own role as a parent is The music is all kinds of wacky with Carrey doing physical movements every chance he gets This ends up being more entertaining than you'd think Everyone lies but there's a limit, telling the truth is risky but noble, we can't manipulate the system to our own needs, children are not leverage Thin plot aside Jim Carrey shines his best here and he's an actual human we care about going from selfish to lovable and redeeming The man's performance tickling the funny bone is infectious after 25 years Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review James A Especially recommended for those who doubted the legitimacy of Jim Carrey's star-power in the '90s. Wisely, Liar Liar keeps the main focus on comedy instead of reaching for drama. But the screenplay still manages to sprinkle in a few effective "serious" moments...to go with all the laughs. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Igor S Even nearly 30 years later, after watching it for the 100th time, Liar Liar is still funny. On top of that, it also manages to convey a positive message about lying and broken promisses, while also making you think how the world would be, if people said what they are truly thinking all the time, instead of speaking through the filters that society and survival needs impose on us all. It only works because of Jim Carrey's once in a generation talent though. Anyone else in this movie and the mediocre story would quickly impose itself over the comedy. It once again proves why he is one of the best to ever do it.
