For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
This film will never be a classic, but for what it's worth I actually quite enjoyed it, despite not being the target audience it was aimed at.What's not really to like? There's a decent story being told, the two central actors give good performances and there is actually a good mix of child friendly/adult jokes.The nice relationship between Muniz and Bynes keeps the movie afloat, but it is nice to see Paul Giamanti having fun with his role too.I can't say that this is the best family film that has ever been made, but if you're looking for something that has charm and a unique story being told then this is a good film to watch.
The flick Big Fat Liar portrays the struggles of a young slacker protagonist (Frankie Munez) as he attempts to evince the thievery of his school project by a Hollywood bigshot (Paul Giamatti). The Hollywood director acts as if the writings of the young boy are his owns and uses them for his next big blockbuster. The antagonist is basically the typical liberal left wing Hollywood type, if you ask me, always making up elaborate lies to control the media and the entire freaking country under Barack HUSSAIN Obama's rule. The protagonist could be argued as symbolizing the poor, innocent Christian conservatives being deliberately attacked by the liberal agenda.I did enjoy the film immensely, probably on par with great works such as The Godfather or Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. Although I did love this movie, I will say that really this film could just be called "Kind of a Liar I guess" when compared to the story about I am about to tell you. Paul Giamatti will look like a saint or George Washington (he never told a lie) when put up against the deceiving little devil that is my wife.I married her back in 2009, madly in love. I was taken aback by her from the moment I first laid eyes on her. She was elegant in every way. I mean, when she walked into a room, all heads turned.Although, only recently did I realize that the reason heads were turning was because everyone was trying to get a glimpse of the town transsexual! Yeah, you heard me right. I was duped into marrying a dude!We were together for a year before the marriage, and she never bothered to tell me that she used to have man junk. Not only did she not tell me, but none of my so-called "friends" did either. They just thought it was a real hoot and waited until the day I found out and laughed hysterically at my misfortune.WHY DID SHE HAVE TO LIE TO ME? Now what am I supposed to do? Am I gay? Am I straight? Or am I bisexual since I've been attracted to a woman but also kind of had relations with a man? THERE'S NO GUIDEBOOK TO THIS! If someone had told me as a kid that one day I would marry a woman who used to be a man, I would have told you that you're full of crap. I'm a God-fearing man and I want to go to heaven, not to have carnal relations with this abomination from Lucifer, the demon overlord of hell.Now, I'm in the process of getting a divorce. But how am I supposed to ever trust someone again? We married before the Almighty God, and He knows I married a former man with balls and everything. I am so ashamed of myself. The only way I get through my days is by watching this movie and taking comfort in the fact that it all works out for the kid who is hurt by the antagonist's lies, hoping one day that I will be able to feel the same satisfaction.In conclusion, if you need a movie to distract you from the overcrowding thoughts of your wife's sex change, then I recommend this movie to you.Sincerely, Your fellow IMDb user blakelogsdon1
Big Fat Liar is a good movie for the children but may not have enough life in it to please the adults. Personally, I thought this was rather mediocre and over-the-top, but Paul Giamatti is the saving grace of the film. There are some funny scenes including the famous scene where Giamatti turns blue. This is not a laugh-out-loud riot, but there are some mild chuckles to be had.Shawn Levy's film is a take on the legend of "Boy Who Cries Wolf." After a 14-year old kid has his essay stolen from him by a Hollywood producer and turned into a movie and no one believes him, he goes all out to prove that his essay was indeed stolen.The acting is okay. Paul Giamatti is very good and is very funny! He can just appear in nearly everything and do a great job. Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes sometimes seem to be a little over-the-top, but at least they are not terrible.Overall, this is an average film that kids will love. Adults on the other hand, may find this to be too boring and safe. There is nothing new here but it could be some fun entertainment. I rate this film 7/10.
Jason Shepard is a slacker, he's always late to school, he doesn't do his homework, and always lies. But this all backfires on him when he either has to write a 1000 word essay in three hours, or be sent to summer school. He writes it and heads down but is hit by the limo of Marty Wolf. Wolf gives him a ride and steals Jason's story in order to get back on top of the directing chain. In order to get back at him, Jason enlists the help of his friend Kalie to fly to Los Angelas and get it back. Wolf burns the paper and so Marty decides to get back at him by dying his skin blue, his hair orange, and gluing an earphone in his ear, as well as other things.I love this movie, it's hilarious. Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes have such chemistry. And Paul Giamatti is so over the top that its hard not to like him. Plus all the sets and props of old Universal movies are always fun to see.Overall, if you haven't watched this overlooked jem, watch it.
