One of Carrey's best!

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2003)

The premise is simple. A heartbroken and often disappointed 5 year old boy makes a birth day wish that his father, a prominent and up-and-coming civil attorney, cannot lie for just one day.
In this vehicle, through obvious wish magick, the wish is granted.
In pique form of Jim Carrey's classic Dick Van Dyke-meets-Jerry Lewis style, the results of his son's wish wreaks total havoc on his life, and on the lives of those around him.
With an all-star cast, fine direction, and expert screen writers, this production is top notch, classic Jim Carrey fare. IMHO, this is his best performance yet.
There is not one millimeter of wasted film to this work. Every moment is either vital in the building of a principal character, or filled with side-splitting laughter.
I highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants, enjoys or needs, a truly genuine belly laugh.
It rates an 8.4/10 from...
