Movie Reviews of Liar LiarMovie Review: If you want to know the truth, it's outragously funny!! Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Summary of Liar LiarRecovering from the box-office disappointment of The Cable Guy, Jim Carrey gave his fans what they wanted in this good-natured and frequently hilarious 1997 comedy. In a vehicle tailor-made for his verbal and physical antics, Carrey plays a lawyer whose penchant for prevarication is tested when his son makes a birthday wish that his father would tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth for 24 hours, so help him God! Without his daily defense of white lies, selfish fibs, and outright deception, the helpless lawyer finds himself blurting uncensored truths with total, and totally outrageous, candor. The script is clever enough to milk the premise for all it's worth, but it's Carrey's energy--particularly in a hilarious bathroom scene where he literally mugs himself to delay a trial--that keeps the movie going to its sappy happy ending. The supporting cast includes Jennifer Tilly, Cary Elwes, and Amanda Donohoe. --Jeff Shannon
