I would tell you that this is a loud, obvious, one-joke movie, but most of you would run out and pony up the eight bucks to see it anyway. Go to Full Review

Pretty funny, at least during those moments when it doesn't turn into goo. Go to Full Review

Carrey has never been better - that is to say funnier, or more controlled. He's reached a higher performance plateau here, playing a real human being we care about rather than a goon figure. Go to Full Review

Jim Carrey is pure comedy gold here. The actor takes a simple, fun premise up to hilarious heights, thanks to his incredible (physical) comedic talents. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

It is about a man named Fletcher who is divorced and always lies to his son so his son wishes for him not to lie and it came true he cant lie at all and he is a lawyer so he has to lie in order for it to work with cases and he also wants to get his son back. The quality is good.The storytelling is great and the acting is one of a kind.
