theVade Liar Liar was a good movie, and definitely something I'm glad I had the time to watch. Sure the storyline was crap, and Carrey's acting is either something you love or hate, but in the end I still decided to give Liar Liar a "Good" on theVade Review Bar or a 7 out of 10. Yeah, it was stupid, but it was funny. And if a movie can get me to laugh hard enough for me to not care about story, then I guess it deserves that rating in the end.Read more at theVade.

snperera Jim Carrey has to be one of my favorite comedians ever!!! I love him so much! He gives such heart and energy to his roles and I love him for it! He is so good in this movie. He is such an unlikable character at first but then after his son makes that wish and he isn't able to lie anymore you kind of feel for him. You can tell that he really loves his son and that all his son wants is to spend more time with his dad and for his dad to not break his promises. This is such a sweet and charming story and I believe this is one of Jim Carrey's best performances ever. He really gives it his all. Especially in the boardroom scene. I will always love this movie and it will always be a classic to me.

Python Hyena Liar, Liar (1997): Dir: Tom Shadyac / Cast: Jim Carrey, Jennifer Tilly, Maura Tierney, Cary Elwes, Justin Cooper: A one joke comedy made completely out of cardboard. Title indicates an accusation made against the title character but the screenplays fails to be anything more than a sitcom. Jim Carrey plays a lawyer who is unable to lie after his son makes a particular birthday wish. He had promised to spend more time with his son but he often fails in keeping these promises. He misses his son's birthday after engaging in an affair. The whole idea of his inability to lie is never explained. It makes no sense that he cannot even write a lie. His next case is constructed totally out of lies. Jennifer Tilly is trying to gain custody of her child even due to a long list of affairs. Directed by Tom Shadyac who previously directed Carrey in the even worse Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Carrey holds his own using much physical humour and a clever manner to his disposal in dealing with the court case. Tilly is in excellent form as Carrey literally makes her believe her own horseshit. Supporting roles are the usual flat cookie cutters such as Maura Tierney as his ex, and Cary Elwes as her potential new boyfriend. Justin Cooper plays his son who seems to have the amazing ability to create magic with birthday wishes. Good idea with a lot of physical humour but without payoff and that is no lie. Score: 5 / 10

powermandan In 1994, Jim Carrey broke out as Hollywood's favourite funny man in movies with Dumb & Dumber, The Mask and Ace Ventura. 1995 and 1996 saw him starring in the lesser like Ace Ventura sequel and The Cable Guy. 1997's Liar Liar made him show the world that he was still the real deal.This is one of Jim Carrey's best and funniest movies. He is over-the-top funny and also displays good acting. He plays hotshot lawyer, Fletcher Reede, who is the best liar in the business. His fibs help him score huge wins in court, while also distancing himself from his son (Cooper). When he misses his son's birthday party, his son makes a wish that he couldn't lie for one whole day and it actually comes true! He gets in trouble with everybody in the courtroom that day as well as everybody out because he depends so much on lying. Sole honesty makes his chances of winning a prestigious case impossible. He must also find a way to keep his ex-wife (Tierney) from taking their son with her boyfriend (Elwes) to Boston.The character of Fletcher is, like most of Carrey's characters, goofy and comical. When he gets cursed with honesty, he becomes extremely outrageous and Carrey's comedic brilliance really pours out. Every time he confesses to something, the entire truth rolls out as he struggles to keep it in and lie. I believe that sometimes wishes do come true. But not lying is too unrealistic. The movie's theme is not to go back on a promise and stick to the truth whenever possible. It is nice to see such a hilarious movie with such a nice moral.
