Undemanding, light, and enjoyable.Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Michael RechtshaffenAdd Critic to Favorites

Carrey's most satisfying live-action effort since "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

This is basically a nerd-loosening-his-tie romantic comedy done in the manic-compulsive mode of "Liar Liar."Read the full review

USA Today | Claudia PuigAdd Critic to Favorites

Yes, yes, it's Liar Liar 2.Read the full review
