   Jim Carreys' best work, no matter how many times I see it, it never ceases to make me laugh.

   Bottom Line: Jim Carrey disappoints as a lawyer/liar in a comedy that throws out much of its potential. In most of his films, Jim Carrey makes a show of hyperactivity, and in most cases, it’s a good root for comedy. LIAR LIAR is another case. Though it certainly had potential, it was a fairly interesting plot buried in off-color jokes and an over-the-top amount of Carrey’s typical whacko-ness. For a comedy, the storyline is a little heavy. It tells of a lawyer named Fletcher (Jim Carrey) who despite being a lawyer, tends to lie quite frequently. That doesn’t seem to matter much until he breaks a promise he has made to his five-year-old son, Max (Justin Cooper), and forgets to show up at his birthday party. More upset than ever, Max makes a wish before blowing out the candles on his cake, that his father will tell the truth for a whole 24 hours. To his surprise, Fletcher ends up not only telling the truth for the entire next day, but he also ends up blurting out anything that comes to his mind when asked a question. Not only does this lead to a day of truth, but a day of public humiliation. The film that got me into enjoying Jim Carrey’s bizarre but hysterical humor was DUMB AND DUMBER, and I had heard that this film was another one of his better works. When I finally got a chance to watch it, I enjoyed it at first, and there were a few scenes in the beginning that made me want to keep watching, just because they were so funny. By around thirty minutes in, LIAR LIAR became a dull and obnoxious comedy (maybe I should have quotes around that last word), and it just wasn’t funny, no matter how psychotic Carrey got. On top of that, the last fifteen minutes were ridiculously unrealistic and impossible to laugh at.. If there is one word that describes this film: disappointing. There were a few decent quotes in LIAR LIAR that are sure to elicit laughter, but it’s no reason to watch the film, as it is much less time-consuming to simply look them up on IMDb.… Expand
