Geeky Randy's summary

Rating: 4/10 (7 April 2010)

Fletcher Reede (Carrey) is a fast track lawyer who continuously turns down his son Max (Cooper). When Fletcher stands Max up at his birthday party, Max makes a birthday wish that just for one day his father can't tell a lie. Carrey goes the extra mile, with his witty courtroom remarks and Looney Tunes body language; his performance is consistent, and it doesn't ware thin. Cooper falls into the category of the "Annoying Hollywood child actor". The movie doesn't go without other flaws, but the climax and the conclusion are by far the worst--they're over-the-top and unrealistic, even for THIS! Cary Elwes does a fantastic job in a supporting role as Fletcher's ex-wife's (Tierney) new goober love-interest.
** (out of four)
