A sweet but generic comedy, that wouldn't nearly be as special without Jim Carrey.

Rating: 7/10 (15 September 2018)

Although I can't say I'm a mega-fan of Jim Carrey's form of comedy, he was completely perfect for the role as Fletcher Reede, the arrogant lawyer who is as wholly strange as he is truly loving of his son. This love really is the heart of the film (no pun intended), but without Jim Carrey's over-the-top face-pulling performances, 'Liar Liar' would be relatively unspecial - a so-so plot, bland cinematography, an unmemorable score and more cheese than the dairy section of a supermarket. Although, depending on who you are, that cheesiness could be one of the film's more endearing qualities.
7/10 (And without Jim Carrey, it would be around a 5 or 6)
