Good AMERICAN fun! Carrey's finest performance to date.

Rating: Null/10 (9 November 1999)

Jim Carrey gives what may be his finest performance to date (save for "The Cable Guy", which runs a close second) in "Liar Liar". Absolutely a movie that requires no thought processes whatsoever, it showcases both Carrey's unique abilities of physical contortion/distortion and his range of emotions. Particularly memorable is a courtroom scene where he holds himself in contempt! There are strong supporters in the cast--Cary Elwes as a nauseatingly nice guy competing for his son's affection, Cheri Oteri as a secretary at his law firm, and Swoosie Kurtz as his courtroom nemesis. Carrey is a unique talent and this movie showcases his abilities better than any before it.
