"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Liar Liar | 1997 | PG-13 | - 3.2.4
Jim Carrey is a lawyer who cannot lie because of his son's granted birthday wish.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - A couple kiss and the woman tears off the man's clothes (no nudity); we later see them lying next to each other obviously after having sex. A woman clad in a full-length slip. An audio tape is played of a sexual encounter with moaning and sexual innuendo. Cleavage-revealing outfits on women. A woman grabs a man's clothed buttocks. Kissing. Sexual innuendo.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - Played for laughs: a man beats himself up (face punches, throws his body against walls and beats his face under a toilet seat lid) leaving a bruised, scratched, slightly bloody face. Reckless driving, falls and pratfalls, slaps.
LANGUAGE 4 - Some mild obscenities, scatological references and anatomical references, a profane hand gesture.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Lying, parenthood, post-divorce visitation, workaholics, attorneys.
MESSAGE - You have to spend time with your kids. Work is not the most important thing in life.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Gladiator II - 2.7.2
Wicked: Part I - 3.4.2
Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. - 1.5.3
Emilia Pérez - 6.6.7
