Reviews


90
Washington Post - Desson Thomson
It's a magnificent comic experience.
80
The New York Times - Elvis Mitchell
Two little words: Jim Carrey. That's all it takes to transform Liar Liar from a formulaic Hollywood comedy into an uproarious one-man free-for-all.
80
Chicago Reader - Jonathan Rosenbaum
Carrey's attempted self-immolation in a men's room, which weirdly recalls certain Fred Astaire routines, may be a small classic.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
I am gradually developing a suspicion, or perhaps it is a fear, that Jim Carrey is growing on me. Am I becoming a fan? In Liar Liar he works tirelessly, inundating us with manic comic energy.
75
San Francisco Chronicle - Peter Stack
Carrey goes boldly where no funnyman has ventured before, and it's simply amazing to watch him do it.
