This has disastrous effects on Dad, and, in hilarious fashion, it exposes how much lying really goes on in adult life. Carrey is probably funniest when he's trying desperately not to tell the truth, especially in the courtroom. At worst, there's a lot of insult humor. Director Tom Shadyac dreams up some wacky set pieces. Carrey has brought on a revival of physical comedy in movies almost singlehandedly.
Kids love the silly humor.
Except for some moments of burlesque sexuality, this is basic belly-laugh stuff done well. Brad Pitt star in The Devil's Own , a suspense thriller about two men whose fates become fused together when they seek peace and justice. Pitt's character has killed 24 men. As a child his father was shot down before his eyes. The film's ultraviolent episodes are overshadowed by the humanity and bonding.
