Pitting kids against grown-ups has always been a reliable source of comedy, and Big Fat Liar indulges the "smart kid vs dumb adult" fantasy with infectious enthusiasm. In this case it's Frankie Muniz from TV's Malcolm in the Middle, playing a Michigan eighth-grader whose penchant for lying results in parental scorn when he claims that a Hollywood movie mogul (ace character actor Paul Giamatti) has stolen the kid's hastily written English essay and turned it into his upcoming summer blockbuster. The kid only wants to prove his honesty and recruits his girlfriend (spunky TV star Amanda Bynes) to beat the honcho on his Hollywood turf. Elaborate practical jokes and slapstick gags turn this kid stuff (scripted and produced by two former child stars) into an enjoyable send-up of Hollywood absurdity. When combined with Giamatti's mastery of slow-burning megalomania, the show-biz in-jokes and Home Alone-style anarchy make this a harmless diversion for the young and young-at-heart. --Jeff Shannon
Product Description
Rushing to school one morning, Jason Shepherd (Frankie Muniz) is knocked over by a limousine carrying high-flying movie executive Marty Wolf (Paul Giamatti); Marty apologises and gives Jason a lift the rest of the way, but in his excitement Jason accidentally leaves his creative writing project, entitled 'Big Fat Liar', on the back seat of the limo. When he later hears that Wolf has produced a movie entitled 'Big Fat Liar', Jason flies to Hollywood with his friend Kaylee (Amanda Bynes) and tries to get the producer to admit to plagiarism. Wolf refuses, and the two kids consequently set about making his life a living nightmare.

To all comedy lovers,
This film is brilliant and do not be turned off that it is aimed at kids cos i'm not one and me and my friend could not stop laughing right the way through this film. If you haven't seen the Malcolm In the Middle star in this, then you have not seen him at his funniest. His plan to get the director who stole his story to tell the truth to his dad, maybe, i agree be a bit chilidish but you don't really remember this while watching his plans being hatched to actually get to talk to the director and the revenge he gets on him. The only down side i would say is at the end, between the two main characters, but i'll let you watch it to find out!! Its definetly a must see or a must buy for anyone who wants a good laugh, so much so that your cheeks and stomach are hurting by the end of it and of course hours after, while recalling all the funniest parts!

Bought for my grand daughter and it does what it says on the sleeve.
I find reviewing DVD's difficult as each to their own and my grand daughter thought it was great
