Often-absent, divorced father (Carrey) is a lawyer who basically lies for a living. His son, Max makes a birthday wish that his father cannot lie for one day. Well, the wish comes true and this awkward situation proves hilarious for our confused lawyer. And being honest just might save the relationship between father son.

There's a lot funny here and it amounts to one pretty good film too. There's nothing groundbreaking in the script but most of the jokes are set up well and come at a rapid pace. Dispite spatterings of the low-brow humor you might expect, it is pretty much acceptable for the whole family.

Directed by Tom Shadyac.
