Its not just Carrey as a comedic performer that makes this movie so enjoyable, its him as a very flawed, but very loving, father.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Apr 5, 2022

There are several moments of inspired lunacy on full display.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 22, 2022

...a briskly-paced comedy that relies heavily on Carrey's unabashedly (and occasionally overbearingly) broad performance to propel the thin, overly familiar narrative forward...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 19, 2021

Jim Carrey is hilarious in this film

| Oct 11, 2020

One of the best comedies of the '90s and one of Carrey's most enduring (and endearing) works.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Sep 14, 2020

Carrey, unique among American stars, doesn't need story or writing to delight. He needs only room, and "Liar, Liar" gives him plenty.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 7, 2020

Carrey fans the world over should rejoice at the squidgy-faced one's return to form -- this is quite possibly his best, most consistently funny film yet.

| Apr 7, 2020

Carrey's frenzied physical and vocal contortions provide lots of amusing comic moments, as well as a few riotous ones, and the role is not only tailor-made for his rubber-faced antics but also gives him an opportunity to show a more human side.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 7, 2020

Despite being way, way, way (way) over-the-top at times, Liar Liar is vintage Jim Carrey and a nice return to form. Honestly.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 7, 2020

This is essentially a one-joke movie, but it's a nifty joke.

| Apr 7, 2020

I would tell you that this is a loud, obvious, one-joke movie, but most of you would run out and pony up the eight bucks to see it anyway.

| Apr 7, 2020

Pretty funny, at least during those moments when it doesn't turn into goo.

| Apr 7, 2020

Carrey has never been better - that is to say funnier, or more controlled. He's reached a higher performance plateau here, playing a real human being we care about rather than a goon figure.

| Mar 21, 2017

Jim Carrey entertains himself mightily, and his enthusiasm is infectious.

| Original Score: B | Sep 7, 2011

Carrey's mugging glosses over some tough issues.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 2, 2011

A sickly soft-swirl confection of low laughs and smarmy sentiment...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 14, 2008

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

| Dec 14, 2008

Close to an ideal jumping-off point for Carrey, who spends the better part of an hour grotesquely physicalizing his scummy lawyer's struggle with being obliged to utter cold, hard facts.

Full Review | Nov 21, 2008

Pretty rudimentary, but it keeps Carrey's occasional over-exuberance in check and delivers likeable, effective, but decidedly mainstream comedy.

| Jun 24, 2006

Carrey truly works his *** off to get a laugh.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 18, 2005
