Classic Jim Carrey, you get what you expect

Rating: 7/10 (18 August 2019)

'Liar Liar' is probably the most Jim Carrey of all Jim Carrey's films, so naturally it's a love/hate film depending on whether you're a Carrey fan or not. I always have been and love the energy and charisma he brings to his roles, so 'Liar Liar' was always going to be entertaining for me.
A film as silly and over-the-top as this would fail with just about any other actor, but these are the films that Carrey always thrives in. He's excellent once again in 'Liar Liar' and I can't fault any part of his performance - he's hilarious from start to finish. Carrey's facial expressions and mannerisms alone are enough to make you smile and he is probably the only reason why such a simple and shallow plot remains interesting for the duration of the film.
As a Jim Carrey comedy, it gives you exactly what you expect and you can't really ask for anything more.
