Review of Big Fat Liar (2002) by Erik G — 25 Jan 2012
Audiences, get ready for the big fat fun and action. Fourteen-year-old Jason Shepard (Frankie Muniz) has a reputation for stretching the truth. No one believes him. He is failing class. So when the famous Hollywood producer Marty Wolf (Paul Giamatti) steals his class assignment and turns it into a scripted movie, Jason travels all the way from Michigan to Los Angeles to claim his credit. I'm surprised by all the humorous film moments here, most of them Jason and Kaylee (Amanda Bynes) - and everyone in the studio, too - do revengeful tactics just to force the deceitful producer to reveal his truth. And part of 'Big Fat Liar' makes it look like a Blue Man: Marty becoming blue-skinned is definitely the most memorable moment ever! Whatever Jason did in his class essay, titled 'Big Fat Liar' as a movie within a movie, I think he definitely deserves the grade. Good effort, Shepard!
'Big Fat Liar' taught us viewers a valuable lesson that the truth is not overrated. The film, too, isn't overrated, either, and I liked it.
