Movie Review: Big Fat Liar

Hello Everyone!

Today I have another movie review for you.  This one is an older movie called Big Fat Liar.  When this movie originally came out in 2002, I took one look at it and thought to myself "No way am I going to watch that movie, it looks really stupid".  A couple of days ago it was on tv, so I decided to give it a chance.... and it was actually pretty good.  Not the best movie in the world, but it had some pretty funny moments and it also had a good message in it.

The movie stars Frankie Muniz, Paul Giamatti, and Amanda Bynes.  The movie begins with Frankie, a teenager that lies about everything from being up on time to eating his oatmeal to doing his homework.  The lie about doing his homework is what starts the whole ball of string unraveling.  He gets a chance to make up his work to keep from going to summer school and actually writes the paper, which ends up being a story based on himself, called Big Fat Liar.  Unfortunately on his way to deliver the paper he is hit by a limo carrying Paul, a big movie director.  He manages a ride in the limo to his destination, only to lose his paper in the limo.

Frankie ends up in summer school, Paul ends up with the paper, but thats only the beginning.  Frankie and Amanda end up in Hollywood to make Paul's life a nightmare and this is where the laughs really begin.  They make his life miserable all because he won't make one simple phone call to Frankie's dad to prove Frankie wasn't lying about doing his homework.

It's a cute movie with a lot of laughs.  It's rated PG for some language, but that's as bad as it gets (and that's not that bad).  If you're looking for a cute movie, if you're looking for some laughs, I recommend this movie for you and for your children, I'm sure they would get a kick out of it as well.

You can find a little more info on the movie at IMDB.  If you've seen the movie or if you decide to check it out after reading this, leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of the movie.  And I'm always on the lookout for a good movie to watch, so if you have any suggestions for me, leave me a comment.

Enjoy your day....
Love, Light, n Peace...
