Funny, likeable film with sweet moments

Rating: Null/10 (9 April 2004)

One of those rare instances where Jim Carey plays a likeable character, Fletcher is a playful, loving father but is so tired up with his work that he often ends up breaking promises he makes to his son, which ends up hurting them both. When his son makes a wish during his birthday after his father had broken yet ANOTHER promise (or lied), the wish is that his dad will never tell another lie again. Of course, this comes true, and you have the plot, which leads to hilarious moments, AND, for those of you who want action, an action scene at the airport that would make Steve McQueen proud! I highly recommend this movie to basically anyone. I'm not a big fan of Jim Carey but this was his best in my opinion.
