Jim Carrey, like Holmes, cannot make bricks without clay.

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 1999)

I'm not a huge Jim Carrey fan; to me, he's better in movies like "Dumb and Dumber", when he doesn't rearrange his facial features every two minutes. In "Liar Liar", he tries too hard, perhaps to make up for the one-dimensional characterization and plot. I've seen Sprite commercials with more depth than this movie. Not worth the hype, and with an ending that makes me yearn for the subtle resolution of "Die Hard."
