4/25: The best film by Jim Carrey?

Maybe. Liar Liar is quite funny. Imagine a normal actor playing the same role. The results would've been totally different, losing so much of the spontaneity that could only be generated by Jim Carrey. Just look at Cary Elwes trying to do "The Claw." He called it among the most physically challenging acting jobs of his career.

I'm also impressed with the story which is quality stuff; there's a moral involved in regard to lying all the time. Funnily enough, when the son was asked by the teacher what his father did for a living, he said, "He's...a liar." If you think about the word a bit more, it's almost sounds like "lawyer."

If there's a number one problem among people, it's either lying or cheating. They're the same to me. Everybody does it all the time including the president of the United States. They are always covering up things and putting on a façade. Go to any social media page, and you'll see flaunts of their travels, cars, houses, kids, and so on. What you can never know is how broke they are, how much of their stuff are paid on credit, and the debt slavery they've trapped themselves into. The same can be said for their looks, jobs, or degrees because you can't see how ugly they actually are, what they do, or how stupid they are. Now, imagine these people laughing at Liar Liar when it's 100% true the other way around.

All in all, thanks to Jim Carrey, I prefer Liar Liar over Billy Liar.
