the good and evil
Liar Liar was a great comedy, but Ed Tv wasnt. Thats why it wasnt a surprise to me that Ed Tv was costing about 6 dollars. I would recomend getting it just because they are both comedys but liar liar is better ... Read more

A Lawyer who tells the Truth?
Now there's a twist.

But that's the theme of the movie. Jim Carry plays the part of Fletcher Reede, a young, promising (and very unscrupulous) lawyer who always manages to win his cases. But there is a darker side to his life. His wife has divorced him because of several affairs, and his son (who he dearly loves) has been neglected for his professional career. Clearly, Mr. Reede is a man who never settled down to the more serious business of life and responsibility.

However, Reede's day of come-upance has arrived. Forgotten about one too many times, his son makes a birthday wish that his dad would have to tell the truth for 24 hours. An outside wind blows the cake candles out and the stage is set.

Mr. Reede intends to go about his daily, lie-ridden life (his natural style) but is flabergasted to suddenly find that whatever he tries to say, the truth always comes out - and with hilarious results ("I can't believe I said that"). Jim Carrey has the gift of gab, and God, does it come out in this film. Either he is very adept at learning complex lines or he is a natural comedian to whom words flow like water.

There are sight-gags in the film, but these are really secondary to the dialog -- which is priceless.

Unlike "The Mask", this film has a more serious side in the pathos of a neglected family and a wrecked personal life. Still, the movie is light-hearted and fun to watch. Jim Carrey does it once again.

~P~

Jim Carrey at the top of his game!
Fletcher Reed (AKA: Jim Carrey) is a lawyer and yes he lies alot when defending his clients. He is also a divorced father of one. He never shows up on time or sometimes doesn't show up at all to any of his son Max's special events. Hurt by these actions and the lies his father tells when explaining why he is late or why he didn't show up, Max makes a wish on his birthday that his father can't lie to him for 24 hours. Unfortunately for Fletcher, it comes true!

What follows is one of Jim Carrey's best films ever. If you like Jim Carrey and haven't seen this movie yet, you will love it. The thing he does best in this movie in my opinion is his physical comedy, especially the scene where he beats himself up.

Highly recommended for Jim Carrey fans who have not yet seen this one or for anyone who likes slapstick comedy movies that have a point in the end.

One of Jim Carrey's best movies
Fletcher Reed is a lawyer who always wins his cases by lying. But unfortunatly the judge isn't the only person he makes a habit of lying to. His constant promises to spend time with his son Max never come through at the last minute.

So when Max makes a wish that for 24 hrs that his dad cannot tell a lie, he never expected it to actually come true. Unfortunatly in the affected 24 hours, Fletcher has a HUGE divorce case to settle and his fabricated story cannot be told.

At the same time, Max's mother Audrey has been offered a marriage proposal from her boyfriend and plans to take Max to Boston with them. Now Fletcher must deal with not being able to lie and try to change Audrey's mind before he loses Max forever.

One of Jim Carrey's best movies, it made me lol the whole time.

Recomended only for Jim Carey fans
I have seen better from Jim he tried to hard to have a family one here and be funny at the same time wich he is but he is not regular Jim Carrey and I don't know why in this case some of his other movies are the Jim Carrey movies of choice.
