Liar Liar is a 1997 American fantasy comedy film starring Jim Carrey as a lawyer who built his entire career on lying only to find himself cursed to speak only the truth for a single day. He struggles to maintain his career and to reconcile with his ex-wife and son whom he alienated with his pathological lying. The film was directed by Tom Shadyac, and is the second of three collaborations between Carrey and Shadyac, after Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) and before Bruce Almighty (2003).
Liar Liar was released in the United States on March 18, 1997 by Universal Pictures. The film received positive reviews from critics, and grossed $303 million against a budget of $45 million. At the 55th Golden Globe Awards, Carrey was nominated for Best Actor.
