Bad husband. Band father. Bad colleague. And an inconsiderate prick. All self-declared! Jim Carrey could play Hitler and make us root for him.

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2019)

Whenever I watch Jim Carrey on screen, I wonder how would it be to know any of his crazy oddball super pumped up characters in real life. Just watching him fill every moment of screen time with his crackling energy is enough for me to know that watching him in small doses is good enough for me. But oh, just how good it is to see Carrey play
His son Max Reede, however, seems unable to get an opportunity to enjoy his father's (Jim Carrey's character Flether Reede) company even less in Liar Liar. Fletcher is a pants on fire lying liar who has put his skills appropriately well as a professional lawyer. Been divorced for two years now, all he can think about is making partner in his law firm. Nothing is going to come in his way and he thinks little of skipping little Max's fifth birthday party in order to give in to the advances of his female boss, thinking it will help him better his chances of making partner.
Is he in for a surprise or what because for the next 24 hours he has got to navigate a host of major decisions and actions while being unable to lie. Not even a white lie will do. A fun first half, some sniffles in the latter half, an endearing father-son dynamic, a bunch of original hi-larious (!) comic scenes and a surprisingly unrelenting but exhilarating airport chase make for a classic Jim Carrey movie one just can't help but get on board with.
