Liar Liar
Stream
Rent & Buy
Forced by his son's birthday wish, fast-talking attorney and habitual liar Fletcher Reede must tell the truth for the next 24 hours.
What critics thought
Critics largely warmed to Liar Liar as a showcase for Jim Carrey's physical comedy, though most acknowledged the plot was thin scaffolding built purely to give Carrey room to perform. The stronger reservations were about craft and originality — reviewers noted conceptual similarities to a classic Twilight Zone episode — while the comedy itself was broadly seen as delivering.
“I am gradually developing a suspicion, or perhaps it is a fear, that Jim Carrey is growing on me”
