A fast track lawyer cannot lie for 24 hours due to his sons birthday wish after the lawyer turns his son down for the last time. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 02/14/2006 Starring: Jim Carrey Cary Elwes Run time: 86 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Tom Shadyac
Jim Carrey is back in top form after his disastrous outing in The Cable Guy. As a lawyer who becomes physically unable to tell a lie for 24 hours after his son makes a magical birthday wish, Carrey learns a few brutal truths about the real meaning of life. There is very little plot, but Carrey's rubbery contortions and slapstick trickery provide just enough humor to keep you interested in this breezy bit of escapism. Not aided in this film by pets or animation, Carrey manages to do amazing and unique things with very simple props. He is also more in control of his acting than before. He is still over the top, but remains believable in some of the lower-energy scenes. An added plus is that the comedy is not as coarse as we've come to expect from him. --Rochelle O'Gorman

The truth and nothing more the truth!:
A famous and successful lawyer accustomed to lie as part of his profession, will be tested by his own son, who requests him just one detail: To tell the truth for just one day. That cruel fact will make this lawyer assumes the price for being sincere with all the predictable consequences. Funny metaphor that will delight you, although since the middle of the film the initial impact be lessening.
An Awesome Film!!!:
Jim Carrey is awesome and extremely hilarious as a lawyer named Fletcher Reede, who lies constantly to his son, his co-workers, and at court. When he doesn't show up for his son, Max's 5th birthday, Max makes a wish that for a whole day, his dad couldn't lie. Throughout the whole next day, Fletcher tries to lie, but he can't. When he tells the truth, it sometimes get him into trouble. If you love comedy, and Jim Carrey, you'll love LIAR LIAR!!!
Silly, silly fun.:
Liar Liar starring Jim Carrey was another hit for the mega star. His pyshical comedy is evident in this comedy, he just knows how to work his face and body. This film isn't perfect but it's fun and harmless. Enjoy!
