Watch Liar Liar Online

Fletcher Reede (Carrey) is a particularly career-focused lawyer and divorced father. He has a habit of giving precedence to his job, breaking promises to his young son Max, and then lying to both Max and his ex-wife Audrey about the real reason for having done so. Ultimately, Fletcher misses his son's birthday party, whereupon Max wishes while blowing out his cake candles that his father be unable to lie for an entire day; a wish that immediately becomes true. The plot is reminiscent of The Twilight Zone episode "The Whole Truth", which involves a used-car salesman being forced into uninhibited honesty by a haunted car. Fletcher soon discovers, through a series of embarrassing incidents, that he is unable to lie or even withhold a true answer. These incidents are inconvenient, as he is fighting a divorce case in court which, should he win, could be a huge boost to his career. His main witness is willing to commit perjury to win, but Fletcher discovers that he cannot even ask a question if he knows the answer will be a lie. Meanwhile, Audrey is threatening to move to Boston with her new boyfriend Jerry and to take Max with them.

Over the course of the film, Fletcher recognizes his son as his highest priority and struggles to keep him. He manages to win the case truthfully by using a loophole in the law (namely that his client had lied about her age and was 17 when she signed the prenuptial agreement), with the repercussions being a major catalyst to his understanding of what he is likely to lose. When he sees the results of winning the case (the mother of the children will fight for custody also and literally pulls them out of their father's arms), he shouts at the judge and is put into jail for contempt of court. Audrey refuses to pay his bail, which is eventually paid by his secretary Greta. Near the end, Fletcher hijacks some air stairs and chases Audrey's airplane. He is injured after an accident, but does manage to speak to his son. The "Curse" placed on him finishes at 8:15 of that evening; however, he vows to obey it throughout his remaining life. One year later, he is shown at his son's next birthday party enjoying a far closer relationship with Max. Fletcher and Audrey share a kiss after Max blows out his candles.
