Reviews for Liar Liar
A lot of fun, especially when Carrey reels off an entire lifetime's worth of driving offences to a nearby cop.

What's best about this script is the premise: a lawyer who doesn't lie.
01/01/00
Its premise is flimsy, but its payoff is riotously funny.
01/01/00
Top Critic...Liar Liar is hysterical.
01/01/00
Jim Carrey Jim Carrey.
01/01/00
...a reliably entertaining slice of comic nonsense.
01/01/00
It’s a magnificent comic experience.
01/01/00
Top CriticPretty rudimentary, but it keeps Carrey's occasional over-exuberance in check and delivers likeable, effective, but decidedly mainstream comedy.
06/24/06
In the film, Carrey manages a balancing act that'll please his fans, but also promises to broaden his audience.
01/01/00
All-in-all, Liar Liar is pretty good fun, and it represents one of Carrey's most entertaining movies to date.
01/01/00
Top CriticWhile the humor is absolutely hilarious, the sentiment is overly sappy, and several times that conflict risks sinking this otherwise sturdy vehicle.
02/27/01
Well into his tumultuous career, Mr. Carrey finally turns up in a straightforward comic vehicle, and the results are much wilder and funnier than this mundane material should have allowed.
01/01/00
Top Critic...Liar Liar stands to make a liar out of those who predicted that Carrey's career was on the skids.
11/06/02
If you're NOT a Carrey fan, I recommend you see this & THEN pass judgement on his talent & his ability to hold a movie together with something other than his butt.He rocks.
07/12/01
...as Liar Liar proves one more time, there is probably no more consistently funny performer working in film today.
02/14/01
Top CriticFinds an amusing premise and beats the hell out of it, propelling it into one hysterically funny situation after another.
09/10/02
Strong on premise, the film is short on plot.
05/20/03
I have to admit that I generally don't like Jim Carrey but I thoroughly enjoyed Liar, Liar.
