Big Fat Liar
2002 Directed by Shawn Levy
Synopsis
Fourteen-year-old Jason Shepherd (Muniz) has a reputation for stretching the truth. So, when big-time Hollywood producer Marty Wolf (Paul Giamatti) steals his class paper and turns it into a smash movie, no one believes Jason's latest tall tale! On a cross-country adventure to set the record straight, Jason and best friend Kaylee (Bynes) devise a high-tech plan to squeeze the truth out of Wolf.

How do you relax after marathoning the 10 hours of emotional trauma which is The Human Condition? You watch Big Fat Liar motherfucker
Back when malcolm in the middle was gonna be a huge star this film was the bees tits. I used to watch this film all the live long day so excuse me if i slap on my nostalgia goggles for a moment. Turk Turkleton and Paul Giamatti (who has /never/ had a dull role) join Malcolm and the late Amanda Bynes in one of the best feel-good adventure films of all-time. This film taught kids that if you ran away from home to Hollywood you could sleep in the backlot with all the props and the vending machines would let you drink all the coke you want. The American Dream for kids. Big Fat Liar is a champion of the innocence and brilliance of youthful perception. A love letter to cinema and everything in it. -
Real movie producers aren't this nice.

It's tolerable, I guess. But seriously, don't watch it.

I think I caught the middle of this on TV when it first aired. The best part is when he fills out the Census and has to put "Blue Man Group" as his ethnicity

It's better than your average family film. Giamatti is well cast as the bad guy.

Not the funniest of films I've seen. The actors look old enough to e playing teen roles, but they act more like they are ten in the actual production. Oh well. It's funny enough to keep you watching, and I guess that's all they need.
