    It's a magnificent comic experience.

    Two little words: Jim Carrey. That's all it takes to transform Liar Liar from a formulaic Hollywood comedy into an uproarious one-man free-for-all.

    It's worth hanging on for the spice of the closing credit outtakes, which effectively rounds off a reliably entertaining slice of comic nonsense.

    For those who like Carrey and are waiting for a film they can honestly say they enjoyed through and through, this ain't it.

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

    This movie was very touching. It was very funny and family friendly. I enjoyed the movie especially with the fact that pointed to the profession of lawyers having to lie to get their win and money or allow unjust situations to take place.… Expand

    This is probably one of Jim Carrey's whackiest performances ever made. Liar Liar is a whacky and fun movie. It may seem unoriginal, but when you put a comedic actor like Jim Carrey, it's something else. It does get a little too extreme as far as storytelling near the end. Plus, for a movie like this, it's a bit too sexual. Then again, the court scenes in the movie are about a woman committing adultery. It somehow manages to work with the movie, but is too ridiculous. (Which is what the movie is). As far as characters go, I thought they were really good, except for Jerry (Cary Elwes). He was just a bad character to throw into the movie. Overall, it's a slapstick funny and ridiculous comedy.… Expand
