Before Liar Liar I wasn't really a big Jim Carrey fan. He was kind of funny but to over the top and his excesses became too much for me to find him really funny most of the time. In Liar Liar Jim Carrey goes for broke to make us laugh as always but the difference in the film is that his character is likeable. There is also a sweetneds to the film that makes it not only hilarious but also very endearing.
Jim Carrey plays Fletcher Reede. A lawyer who built his entire career on lying. He is obsessed with his career. He is divorced but has a 5 year old son that worships his father. But his constant lying strains his relationship with his son. His son is so sad that his father doesn't show up for his birthday that he makes a wish that Fletcher couldn't lie for a day. What ensues is in my opinion Jim Carrey's most hilarious performance. The cast is really good but it's Jim Carrey that makes the film the comedy classic that it is.
Hilarious!!!
