A lot of fun, especially when Carrey reels off an entire lifetime's worth of driving offences to a nearby cop.

1 - 7 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Top CriticPretty rudimentary, but it keeps Carrey's occasional over-exuberance in check and delivers likeable, effective, but decidedly mainstream comedy.

Top Critic...a reliably entertaining slice of comic nonsense.
01/01/00
Top CriticClose to an ideal jumping-off point for Carrey, who spends the better part of an hour grotesquely physicalizing his scummy lawyer's struggle with being obliged to utter cold, hard facts.

Top Critic...as Liar Liar proves one more time, there is probably no more consistently funny performer working in film today.

Top CriticWell into his tumultuous career, Mr. Carrey finally turns up in a straightforward comic vehicle, and the results are much wilder and funnier than this mundane material should have allowed.

Top CriticI am gradually developing a suspicion, or perhaps it is a fear, that Jim Carrey is growing on me.
