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

Jim Carrey is one of the funniest men alive, and this movie displays his talent for all to see! Carrey just goes all out... anyone whose brain is not in a jar will laugh til it hurts watching Liar Liar. COMIC GENIUS!
Floyd H. gave it a10:
Probably the funniest movie I've ever seen. Jim Carrey's completely unleashed antics border on insanity. Everyone I know raves about Liar, Liar. Our family owns the video, most have seen it 20 times and we still get a big kick out of it. In fact I think I'll go watch it now!
Sam gave it a9:
After crap like Napoleon Dynamite and Mail-Order bride, it's good that there are movies like this where you can leave a movie theater or living room with a grin on your face saying "Damn, that was funny!"
Matt K gave it an8:
I didnt want to review this movie on this rating thing, but rather tell Pat C. that his short review was very good and he should be commended for it. Thanks.
Pat C. gave it a5:
Carrey's best work as an overactor. The premise payoff scenes where Carrey can't lie are generally worth seeing, with the boardroom scene unbearably hilarious. The show ripped right along, but the romantic schmaltz was stomach-churning, and psychological child abuse is not funny no matter how you slice it.
