Susan Stark, Detroit News: This is Carrey's most mature (and mainstream) comic turn, with flashes of introspection and tenderness. Read more
Janet Maslin, New York Times: Well into his tumultuous career, Mr. Carrey finally turns up in a straightforward comic vehicle, and the results are much wilder and funnier than this mundane material should have allowed. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: ...as Liar Liar proves one more time, there is probably no more consistently funny performer working in film today. Read more

Desson Thomson, Washington Post: It's a magnificent comic experience. Read more
