In my opinion, this is one of the funniest movies of all-time. Period.
Jim Carrey literally carries the entire film, even though there are some great little performances scattered throughout as well. Jerry is perfect.
Carrey does such a magnificent job with his humor, that you sometimes forget he is acting here. His love for Max is apparent, as are his horrible tendencies as a human being. By the end of the film, you are rooting for him the entire way.
It's also one of the most quotable comedies ever. "Yeah, in your bra!" The list goes on and on and on but do yourself a favor and grab a cold six pack and sit back and have some fun with this one. You'll be in tears laughing soon enough.

Jim Carrey The GOAT
this is a..
Liar Liar
A typical drama theatre script that works on all levels and for everyone; Liar Liar is that rare comedy masterpiece that instead of exaggerating keeps it real and smart.
Carrey in fine form
There's a virtuous message at the heart of "Liar Liar" (a yuppie lawyer learns the cost of putting career before child) that helps the movie achieve timelessness; and that's part of the reason this is still so watchable after twenty years. It's even one of those "cable movies" that tends to draw you in whenever it's on.
But seriously, can you think of anyone other than Jim Carrey who could've carried this movie? Even back in mid-'90s Hollywood. Absolutely not, and most of the laughs come from just pulling the ripcord and watching him go. It's his anarchic style and manic energy that gives the dialogue its potency. The supporting cast is left to do the heavy lifting while Carrey owns the screen. And it's for the best. This is over-the-top in the best sense, and it remains highly watchable today.
