DVD Reviews of Liar Liar (Collector's Edition)DVD Review: One of Jim Carrey's best Summary: 3 Stars
I haven't seen The Mask in ages, so currently, this is my favourite Jim Carrey movie. I haven't seen the Ace Ventura movies, or Cable Guy - actually, I don't think I've seen that many of his movies. *Suddenly remembers she has Bruce Almighty* This movie has me in fits everytime I watch it. From the infamous scene with Jim Carrey in the lift with the gorgeous girl with the ample sized chest (Fletcher: Well thats cause you've got big jugs. I... I mean your boobs are huge. I mean, I want to squeeze them. I... ma ma.), to the outtakes at the end of the movie. JEZEBEL!
Jim Carrey (which I continously pronounce wrong, and get corrected) is one of those great actors that can most of the time turn his hand at anything, as long as it's funny. I can't honestly see him in a serious movie - and in his latest movie, which I forget the name of, doesn't he look different?! I originally thought it was Christopher Lloyd.
I also love Jennifer Tilly, again with a lot of too tight tops! She plays her character very well, and is so funny in the courtroom when he's trying to get her to confess to NOT being a true blonde.
There's some terrific lines in this, which only Jim could carry off, and will have you rolling on the floor with laughter. Some of the most memorable ones are:
Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over?
Fletcher: Depends on how long you were following me.
Cop: Let's start from the top.
Fletcher: Here it goes: I sped. I followed too closely. I ran a stop sign. I almost hit a Chevy. I sped some more. I failed to yield at a crosswalk. I changed lanes at an intersection. I changed lanes without signaling while running a red light and SPEEDING!
Cop: Is that all?
Fletcher: No... I have unpaid parking tickets.
Fletcher: Your honor, I object!
Judge: Why?
Fletcher: Because it's devastating to my case!
Judge: Overruled.
Fletcher: Good call!
Office Worker: Hey, Fletcher, how's it hanging?
Fletcher: Short, shriveled, and always to the left. (interpret that whichever way you want)
Fletcher: Mrs. Cole, the only problem here is that after you've provided years of faithful service and loving support raising his children - They are his?
Samantha: Oh yeah. One for sure.
Fletcher: After all that, your husband wants to deny you a fair and equitable share of the marital assets based on one single act of indiscretion.
Samantha: Seven.
Fletcher: Beg your pardon?
Samantha: Seven single acts of indiscretion.
Fletcher: SEVEN! acts of indiscretion, only one of which he has any evidence and all of which he himself is responsible for.
Audrey: Where were you?
Fletcher: Having sex.
Audrey: Well, I hope it was with someone VERY special.
Fletcher: No, see - that's the thing... I don't even like her, but she's a partner and I thought I could help my career by making her squeal.
Fletcher: Weight, 105. Yeah, in your bra!
Dana: Your Honor, I object!
Fletcher: You would!
Dana: B*****D!
Fletcher: HAG!
Judge Stevens: QUIET!
If this movie is not in your DVD collection, or you have not seen it, you're missing out on something. Just make sure you watch the outtakes! Unfortunately, I missed them, cos the phone rang! Don't answer the phone when the outtakes are about to come on.

Description of Liar Liar (Collector's Edition)LIAR LIAR - COLLECTOR'S EDITION - DVD Movie Recovering from the box-office disappointment of The Cable Guy, Jim Carrey gave his fans what they wanted in this good-natured and frequently hilarious 1997 comedy. In a vehicle tailor-made for his verbal and physical antics, Carrey plays a lawyer whose penchant for prevarication is tested when his son makes a birthday wish that his father would tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth for 24 hours, so help him God! Without his daily defense of white lies, selfish fibs, and outright deception, the helpless lawyer finds himself blurting uncensored truths with total, and totally outrageous, candor. The script is clever enough to milk the premise for all it's worth, but it's Carrey's energy--particularly in a hilarious bathroom scene where he literally mugs himself to delay a trial--that keeps the movie going to its sappy happy ending. The supporting cast includes Jennifer Tilly, Cary Elwes, and Amanda Donohoe. --Jeff Shannon
