Insanely Funny

Rating: 9/10 (19 June 2019)

While The Mask is my favorite because Carrey pulled off a funny and impressive performance, Liar Liar is my second favorite because he manages to take slapstick to a whole new level. He is incredibly goofy in this one and is able to keep the audience laughing and smiling from beginning to end.
Liar Liar is about Fletcher Reed (played by Jim Carrey) who is a lawyer that does a perfect job of being dishonest. His son, Max, is not happy with him not showing up to this birthday party. So, he wishes for his birthday for his dad to not tell a lie for a whole day. This happens, and Fletcher can not lie at all. Because of that, Fletcher now fears that his upcoming case is going to be bad since he has to be straight up honest. He also must promise to spend time with Max before Max and the mom/wife move away for good.
Liar Liar has a lot of great comedy. Many funny and quotable lines, and Jim Carrey did a wonderful job. He managed to deliver a performance that was spectacular enough to make the movie worth it.
The film also has a good plot too. The story had a clever concept to it and pacing worked very good and fast. The message to the film is essentially saying "Be honest no matter what.", and I thought that was a great message the director, Tom Shaydac, was going for.
Overall, Liar Liar is a hilarious Jim Carrey flick and holds up to this day very well.
