## Description

The truth shall set you free - or get you into a heap of trouble! It's mile-a-minute fun from start to finish as comic genius **Jim Carrey** pulls out all the stops in this uproarious smash hit from the director and producers of *The Nutty Professor*.

Fletcher Reede (Carrey) is a fast-talking attorney and habitual liar. When his son Max (**Justin Cooper**) blows out the candles on his fifth birthday cake, he has just one wish - that his dad will stop lying for 24 hours. When Max's wish miraculously comes true, Fletcher discovers that his biggest asset - his mouth - has suddenly become his biggest liability! Hilarious havoc ensues as Fletcher tries to keep his practice afloat and his ex-wife Audrey (**Maura Tierney**) from taking their son and moving to Boston.

Co-starring **Jennifer Tilly**, **Swoosie Kurtz**, **Amanda Donohue** and **Cary Elwes**, and featuring extended outtake footage, this madcap comedy is both heartwarming and ''outrageously funny'' (Michael Medved, *New York Post*). For good, honest belly laughs, trust *Liar Liar*!
