Liar Liar is a 1997 American family comedy film written by Paul Guay and Stephen Mazur, directed by Tom Shadyac and starring Jim Carrey. Carrey was nominated for a Golden Globe Award (1997) for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical.
The film is the second of three collaborations between Carrey and Shadyac, the first being Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and the third being Bruce Almighty. It is also the second of three collaborations between Guay and Mazur, the others being The Little Rascals and Heartbreakers. It has been unofficially remade in Bollywood as Kyo Kii... Main Jhuth Nahin Bolta.
In Los Angeles, California Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey) is a career-focused lawyer and divorced father. He loves spending time with his young son Max (Justin Cooper); they often play a game where Fletcher makes his hand into "the Claw" and pretends to chase Max with it. But Fletcher has a habit of giving precedence to his job, breaking promises to Max and his ex-wife Audrey (Maura Tierney), and then lying about the reasons. Fletcher's compulsive lying has also built him a reputation as one of the best defense lawyers in the state of California as he is climbing the ladder in the firm he is working for. Ultimately, Fletcher misses his son's birthday party because he is having sex with his boss Miranda (Amanda Donohoe), in the hopes of making partner. Max makes a birthday wish that his father would be unable to tell a lie for an entire day — a wish that immediately becomes true.
Never gonna put you out,
never gonna let you down.
Never gonna break your heart,
never gonna mess around.
Never gonna tell you lies,
never gonna make you cry.
All those things you said,
now would you mind tellin me why
Im out here all alone,
and im feelin let down.
My hearts broken up in two,
im wonderin what was true.
Hearing all the shit you said,
now somebody else is in your bed
But now that ive got your attention.........
Listen to the sound of me breakin down, down, down.
cant you hear me losin my mind.
Everything thats everything is nothing.
i cant tell your truth from your lies.
This is the sound of me breakin down, down, down
over and over in my head.
Your a liar, a liar, a liar.
So why dont you just hush up all that noise
thats all it ever was.
How you gon try to confess
what you should have said.
Just a simple friend, i didnt
mean to fall in love.
But I fell for that spell that you cast
and as if that wasnt enough.
Now wait a minute baby,
i gotta get this off my chest somehow.
But im runnin out of ways to say just what i mean,
can you tell by the look in my face that i just wanna
scream.
(chorus)
All the things you do in the heat of the moment
it can cost you a lifetime of happiness.
All the things you do in the heat of the moment,
in many days to come can bring you nothing but
distress.
All the things you do in the heat of the moment,
you may think everythings goin right, but the very next
day....
All the things you do in the heat of the moment......
