Storyline
Fourteen-year-old Jason Shepherd has a reputation for stretching the truth. So, when big-time Hollywood producer Marty Wolf steals his class paper and turns it into a smash movie, no one believes Jason's latest tall tale! On a cross-country adventure to set the record straight, Jason and best friend Kaylee devise a high-tech plan to squeeze the truth out of Wolf.

Film Threat
A hilarious film for anyone who remembers lying as a kid-- and anyone who wants to see a movie that's just plain fun.
67
The film gets snaps just by attempting the high road, and should be enjoyed by its target audience.
60
Fresh-faced leads Muniz and Bynes are charmers, Giamatti makes Wolf into a splendidly loathsome adversary, and the film is refreshingly free of bodily function jokes.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Big Fat Liar becomes a progression of increasingly elaborate slapstick stunts, in the brutal, noisy "Home Alone" vein, in which the complexity of the pranks rarely yields a commensurate comic reward.
40
The movie scores some laughs, all of which come from the expert Giamatti.
