Christina Reviews *Liar Liar*

          Jim Carrey plays Fletcher Reede, a lawyer who is unable to lie for an entire day after his neglected son makes a magical birthday wish.  You see, his son is sick of his father making promises and then reneging on them, so he wishes that, for one whole day, his father will have to tell the truth.  And his wish comes true.

          And so Fletcher spends the day telling homeless men how he really feels, making fun of his co-worker’s new hairstyle, insulting his boss, etc., etc.  When he finds out what his son did, he tries to get him to take back his wish.

         At the end of the movie, everyone learns the valuable lesson that sometimes it’s good to lie.  But not to your kids.  Lie to everyone else, but never to them.

        As always, Jim Carrey does a great job.  This is a funny movie, even if not a word of it is true.  Attorneys don’t lie.  They “lawyer” people.  Everyone knows that.
