Product Description

Amazon.ca

Pitting kids against grown-ups has always been a reliable source of comedy, and Big Fat Liar indulges the "smart kid vs. dumb adult" fantasy with infectious enthusiasm. In this case it's Frankie Muniz from TV's Malcolm in the Middle, playing a Michigan eighth-grader whose penchant for lying results in parental scorn when he claims that a Hollywood movie mogul (ace character actor Paul Giamatti) has stolen the kid's hastily written English essay and turned it into his upcoming summer blockbuster. The kid only wants to prove his honesty and recruits his girlfriend (spunky TV star Amanda Bynes) to beat the honcho on his Hollywood turf. Elaborate practical jokes and slapstick gags turn this kid stuff (scripted and produced by two former child stars) into an enjoyable send-up of Hollywood absurdity. When combined with Giamatti's mastery of slow-burning megalomania, the show-biz in-jokes and Home Alone-style anarchy make this a harmless diversion for the young and young-at-heart. --Jeff Shannon

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't Underestimate this Movie! July 11 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Okay, I'll admit that before I watched this movie, I thought it was going to be completely stupid and idiotic. Then I watched it and I thought hey this is pretty okay! Most people (especially adults) see a preview for a movie like this and they just say 'ugh, more stupid movies.' But despite the reputations of the main characters, this is pretty good. It's hilarious, don't get me wrong, but this movie really shows the determination of a teenage boy trying to follow his dreams.

5.0 out of 5 stars This movie isn't a big fat liar, its halarious May 7 2004
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
This movie is my I-am-not-feeling-well-get-me-out-of-school-movie when I am feeling bad I pop out my VCR and watch it almost everytime because it makes me feel good and get me back on my feet. Good movie! Paul(Wolf)has the face of a bad guy so he fit in this movie perfectly. Nice job by the actors and a nice story

Good Job Universal!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Clean Fun April 13 2004
By Dan Blankenship
Format:DVD
Frankie Muniz does an excellent job making himself look like a kid who has told "one too many" lies, and now suffers "cry wolf" syndrome.

After Jason Shepherd notices a Hollywood director (he had an accident with) has stolen his English paper and turned it into a successful movie script, he (played by Muniz) sets out on a hilarious adventure to get credit for his work. The best part about the movie is I truly believe something like this has probably happened before...only the person with the stolen screenplay probably did not have the brain power of Muniz and Bynes!

The movie is good clean fun for the whole family. Amanda Bynes knows how to play to the camera, as does just about everyone involved with this movie. Paul Giamatti's "Hungry Like The Wolf Dance" as a blue-colored moron was one of the funniest scenes in a PG movie in a while.

Buy it, watch it, laugh...

P.S. If you go to the video store and it is a choice between Big Fat Liar or Lost In Translation, trust me - go with Big Fat Liar.
