Great Comedy

Rating: 9/10 (11 May 2005)

This has to be Jim Carrey's best. One of the best comedies I've seen since the first half of "Stir Crazy". Jim Carrey is a slippery lawyer who plays fast and loose with the truth. When his son innocently makes a wish that his father would stop lying, suddenly Carrey's lawyer character finds he cannot say anything BUT the truth. Suddenly clients, judges, opposing counsel start hearing his shady thought processes. Even a large breasted woman in an elevator gets the stream-of-consciousness routine, with predictable results. Every inane, ridiculous, embarrassing thing that goes through his head, suddenly starts coming out of his mouth, at the most inopportune times. Many laugh-out-loud moments. If you've had a really bad day, this movie is the one to watch.
