        Sometimes I think it would be nice to live in a world where everyone has to tell the truth.

        Liar Liar is easily one of Jim Carrey's most over-the-top performances. The premise of a lawyer not being able to tell a lie for 24 hours because his son made it his birthday wish is clearly an implausible one, but if you can put that aside, you're in for a funny and sweet movie. Carrey is always fun to watch. It takes a good 45 minutes for things to get really good, but final act is fantastic movie magic.

        The story is clever and to top it off, the over-the-top hysteria of one Jim Carrey gives audiences every reason to laugh. Liar Liar gives the honest-to-God truth and keeps you laughing towards the end. 5/5

        A cliche father son relationship is the only thing holding this movie back. Otherwise, this is one of Jim Carrey's best films! The hysterical dialogue, the unforgettable performance by Carrey, and the hilarious situations make this a must watch!
