It is usually assumed that some of the world's best liars are
lawyers. In Liar Liar Jim Carrey plays the part of a lawyer who
happens to be quite the liar. That is, until his son makes a birthday
wish that his father could tell the truth for just one day. And what
a day that is! It's amazing how much trouble a person gets into when
always having to tell the absolute truth. This is one of Jim Carrey's
better films because he's not relying on special effects like he had
done in The Mask and the film features Carrey in a rare role (for him)
as that of a father. A father who constantly breaks the promises he
makes to his son. That is of course what prompts his son to make the
aforementioned wish. We have the usual happy ending and Carrey has
you rooting for him in the end. Even though he is a lawyer. |
