 Liar Liar  Quote: Liar Liar is a 1997 American comedy film written by Paul Guay and Stephen Mazur, directed by Tom Shadyac and starring Jim Carrey. Carrey was nominated for a Golden Globe Award (1997) for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical. The film is the second of three collaborations between Jim Carrey and Tom Shadyac, the first being Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and the third being Bruce Almighty. It is also the second of three collaborations between Paul Guay and Stephen Mazur, the first being The Little Rascals and the third being Heartbreakers. It was shot entirely in California. _________________Magic Mike wrote: zwackerm wrote: If John Wick 2 even makes 30 million I will eat 1,000 shoes. Same. Algren wrote: I don't think. I predict.

Re: Liar Liar Carrey is terrifically over-the-top and the film is pretty edgy at times. The finale is sappy and sentimental, but what can you do?
Pound for pound, I think it's probably Carrey's best slapstick comedy.

Re: Liar Liar Definitely a great comedy when it was out, still gets a good amount of laughs though. Carrey was in his prime here, even if it doesn't reach his manic heights.

Ace Ventura A
Liar Liar A-
Yes Man B+
Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls B+
Me, myself, and Irene B
The Mask B
Bruce Almighty C+

Re: Liar Liar I don't have my original review, but agree that this amongst the best of Jim Carrey's comedies.
(Lots of cool supporting actors here too - - eg: Jennifer Tilly and Swoosie Kurtz.)

Re: Liar Liar One of my childhood favorites, just rewatched this and still a great film. Carrey is in his prime and carries the film, great performance and there's just plenty of hilarious bits. Very rewatchable for sure, the 90's felt like a good time for comedy.
