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.

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

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.

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

| Original Score: B | Sep 7, 2011

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

Like Robin Williams, Carrey has learned to do his side-splitting shtick in character. He's not only under control, but funnier than ever as the truth-impaired Fletcher Reede.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 26, 2003

...Liar Liar stands to make a liar out of those who predicted that Carrey's career was on the skids.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 6, 2002

...Jim Carrey makes a wild and remarkable comeback to cheerfulness...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 18, 2002

As Carrey's celebrated rubber does its patented act, the flick turns into a gyrational marathon -- mildly funny but seriously exhausting.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 12, 2002

...as Liar Liar proves one more time, there is probably no more consistently funny performer working in film today.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 14, 2001

It's a magnificent comic experience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 1, 2000

I am gradually developing a suspicion, or perhaps it is a fear, that Jim Carrey is growing on me.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000

This film is both too formulaic and too much a one-man vehicle to rate as a true masterpiece. But God strike me dead if I'm lying, this is one gut-busting funny movie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2000

...a reliably entertaining slice of comic nonsense.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 1, 2000

This is Carrey's most mature (and mainstream) comic turn, with flashes of introspection and tenderness.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Its premise is flimsy, but its payoff is riotously funny.

Truth be told, the rapid-fire Liar, directed with unfussy flair by Tom Shadyac, is a one-joke movie. But it's a doozy.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Well into his tumultuous career, Mr. Carrey finally turns up in a straightforward comic vehicle, and the results are much wilder and funnier than this mundane material should have allowed.
