Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
yellinglady-0 Big Fat Liar is pretty much a lie from the start. At the menu screen, you see a girl so you'd think she's the main character, but she's not. So the movie starts up with a 14 year old boy named Jason who lies all the time. He doesn't do his paper so he has to turn it late. Along the way, he meets up with a director who happens to be filming a movie where Urkel is a cop with his partner as a chicken. The kid leaves his paper in the limo of the director and he turns it into a movie. Jason then goes to Hollywood and steals, vandalizes, and lies more in order to learn that lying is wrong. Oh and instead of planning how to get the director to admit he stole the film from Jason, he and the girl have a 2 minute montage on them trying on clothes. They eventually find everyone who hates the director and ruin his career. So remember kids, lie, vandalize, and steal and someday, you too can have a bad movie yourself!
zombiefan89 He just happens to have enough money saved up for a trip to Hollywood and his...uh girlfriend? Amanda Binds is a cute sick kick, but you don't really see her character develop. She just goes along with his plans supporting him. Her character has just as many strange conviences as Frankie's. Her parents just happened to be MIA over the summer and her old grandmother can't tell her apart from a 6ft. jock? That jock by the way, wouldn't give back a skate board, but will live with a strange old women and wear a dress for a few days. Also, what about his parents? Wouldn't they notice he was missing? The villain, Marty Wolf, was a hatable guy enough, but it took him just a little too long to notice he was BLUE! That driver was another strange convience. He just happened to have been mistreated by Wolf, as well?
kdnor2011 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.
covergirl10452 After seeing Big Fat Liar, I think Jason learned a lot more. When he told the truth about Marty stealing his story, it was like the boy who cried wolf. People heard him, but they didn't believe him. Nobody did anything to help him. Besides, not only Marty's movies stink, so does his advice. The truth is not overrated. I am so glad he got exposed for what he really is. Everyone found out that he stole from that boy, including his parents. Not only he stole from that boy and lied about it, he gave them someone else's work and tried to call it his own, which is plagiarism. Doesn't he know that it is illegal to plagiarize someone's idea? Another reason why he got fired. He is not trustworthy. He's a liar, a cheat, a thief, a crook, and a plagiarist. You got that Marty? You're a plagiarist. Plus, you got everything that you deserved.
