Plot Summary

Fletcher Reede, a fast talking attorney, habitual liar, and divorced father is an incredibly successful lawyer who has built his career by lying. He has a habit of giving precedence to his job and always breaking promises to be with his young son Max, but Fletcher lets Max down once too often, for missing his own son's birthday party. But until then at 8:15 Max has decided to make an honest man out of him as he wishes for one whole day his dad couldn't tell a lie. When the wish comes true all Fletcher can do is tell the truth and cannot tell one lie. Uh-oh for Fletcher Reede. Written by Anthony Pereyra

Trivia According to an interview with Jim Carrey, he says that the gag of Fletcher chasing his son as "The Claw" was something Carrey's father did to him and his siblings. See more »
Goofs Fletcher is unable to come up with an honest argument for a continuance. However, having been brought onto the case just a day or two before trial is a perfectly valid reason. His ignorance of the settlement offer is itself evidence that he needs more time to look at the case file. See more »
