Der Dummschwätzer

Carrey, tying his face in knots, builds a demented rhythm out of suppression and release, so that when the truth bursts out of him we feel his simultaneous horror and joy.

Rubber-faced Jim Carrey provides solid entertainment...

He's a remarkable physical comedian.

...Jim Carrey's performance here is so madcap and energetic - - combining rudery for the adults with slapstick for the kids with such aplomb - that it'd be churlish in the extreme to complain.

...Liar Liar is pretty good fun, and it represents one of Carrey's most entertaining movies to date.
