Big Fat Liar

My 2 year old loved this movie! The action, music, silliness... & it isn't annoying for adults to watch. She is 13 now & we still used our BFL lines daily.... Lol.

loved it

Good funny clean movie

I needed a movie where I didn't have to think and would make me laugh. This movie supplied my needs. It was a riot! I'm still chuckling 2 days later from the car scene. I happened to tell my next door neighbors about it, and their 4 year old daughter enjoyed this movie as much as I did. I highly recommend this movie if you need a good laugh and some joy in your life.

I had middle hopes that this would be a movie that would be fine for me and my elementary school aged kids. I was laughing the whole way through! It had a very good story, lots of excitement and surprises, an excellent cast of actors. Very clever, and super fun. Great movie for a Sunday afternoon with my kiddies. I would even watch it again. This would make for a good road trip movie.

We have three children, and we're somewhat selective about what our kids watch or what we watch as a family. I do remember a few phrases here and there that made me wince while watching this with our kids (who are all under 10 years old), but it's relatively mild. That said, it is very fun and entertaining. I'm in my mid-30s and I'm not ashamed to admit that this is still one of my favorite family movies. If I had the time, I'd sit down and watch this myself on occasion, regardless of whether my kids were there or not.

Took my son to see this years ago and thought my grand-daughters would like it. They loved it. Great comedic family movie. So problems with delivery. Good product.

Even never having watched a episode of Malcolm in the Middle I found this an entertaining and amusing film. If you're looking for a good family comedy then it's a good rent.If you found this helpful please click the link below. Thank you. Peter.

Jason Shepherd is a habitual liar, making up cheeky and imaginative stories, usually to get out of trouble - he rattles off ten lies in the first eight minutes of the movie! He's quite hurt when his parents (understandably) don't believe him when he actually tells the bizarre truth - an unscrupulous Hollywood producer has plagiarised Jason's creative writing assignment and used it as the storyline for a make-or-break potential blockbuster. When Jason encounters the producer, Marty Wolf, it is clear both are accomplished liars and Wolf is like an older version of Jason. But there's one huge difference. Jason lies to get out of homework, but has not one ounce of greed or unpleasantness in him. He doesn't want money or credit for the movie, only that his folks believe him. Wolf lies in persuit of money and success, he is mean and rude, and bullies and tramples people, albeit probably not deliberately. For example to a veteran stuntman: 'See, this is the movie business, Grandpa, the talkies, you know - and you can take your personal day in a year or two, when you're dead.' Jason has the courage of his convictions and persuades best friend Kaylee to help him. They set off on a daring adventure to Hollywood to confront Wolf and make him admit the truth. Jason is so trusting and genuinely believes Wolf will do so. Facing Wolf's ruthlessness and the frustration of not being believed, Jason is almost in tears, and it's hard not to feel sorry for him. Unfortunately in real life it is often hard to find allies or even be believed when wronged. The premise of the movie is at first serious and potentially depressing, but without giving too much away, these plucky teenagers are not going to give up without a fight! They set out to bite Wolf back - BIG TIME!The movie's comedic side is huge, humorous characters and situations abound, so it's actually hugely enjoyable. Not just the comedy, but the sheer audacity of the teenagers' quest and the sheer outrageousness of Wolf's character. I couldn't stop laughing. Frankie Muniz is very likeable and convincing as Jason. Amanda Bynes is excellent as Kaylee, who helps and supports Jason in so many ways. They play off each other beautifully, and it's nice to see boy and girl as close friends but not actually boyfriend and girlfriend. Although one warm smile from Amanda and one trademark smutty look from Frankie may, or may not, suggest otherwise... Despite great performances from highly talented Muniz and Bynes, Paul Giamatti steals the show - he absolutely relishes, and clearly suffers for, the part of sleazy Wolf. One has to admire anyone who does what Giamatti does as Duran Duran plays Hungry Like the Wolf! Great supporting cast includes Jaleel White (uncredited). Terrific choices (including above) for the soundtrack. Ostensibly aimed at young people the movie has plenty to amuse all age groups. Bonus features include an interesting feature on location, and informative commentaries, one with director Shawn Levy, the other a typically enthusiastic one with Frankie Muniz.
