Big Fat Liar

**Big Fat Liar** is a UK VHS release by Universal on 3rd February 2003.

## Description

Rushing to school one morning, Jason Shepherd (Frankie Muniz) is knocked over by a limousine carrying high-flying movie executive Marty Wolf (Paul Giamatti); Marty apologises and gives Jason a lift the rest of the way, but in his excitement Jason accidentally leaves his creative writing project, entitled 'Big Fat Liar', on the back seat of the limo. When he later hears that Wolf has produced a movie entitled 'Big Fat Liar', Jason flies to Hollywood with his friend Kaylee (Amanda Bynes) and tries to get the producer to admit to plagiarism. Wolf refuses, and the two kids consequently set about making his life a living nightmare.

### From the Back Cover

Featuring Hollywood's hottest stars (Malcom in the Middle's Frankie Muniz and Nickelodeon's Amanda Bynes), Big Fat Liar is a hilarious comedy-adventure, filled with non-stop action and laugh-out loud pranks.

When a sleazy movie producer steals 14-year old Jason Shepherd's class paper and turns it into a blockbuster, Jason and his best friends fly to Los Angeles to ensure that the truth gets known. And it's pay back time! Big time!
