Last days to watch it on Netflix: the Jim Carrey movie that was a hit in the 90s and is perfect for family viewing.

Jim Carrey, at his best , stars in one of the most iconic comedies of the 1990s: Liar Liar. Released in 1997 and directed by Tom Shadyac , this film turned a simple premise into a laugh-fest that won over audiences.

The story follows Fletcher Reede, a brilliant but unscrupulous lawyer, whose life is turned upside down when his son Max makes a magical wish: that his father be unable to lie for a day. What ensues is a chaotic mess of absurd situations, awkward honesty, and a hilarious internal struggle to keep up appearances.

The film is recommended for ages seven and up and is an ideal choice for family viewing. Despite its comedic approach, it conveys values ​​about honesty, the importance of keeping one's word, and the relationship between parents and children, all wrapped, of course, in a thick layer of humor that makes it even more enjoyable.

"Liar Liar" will no longer be available on Netflix on June 30, according to the Nuevoenvod platform. So if you haven't seen it yet, or if you want to rewatch it, now's the perfect time to do so.

The film's success is not only due to its script, but also to the extraordinary physical talent of Jim Carrey, who dominates every scene with his signature style. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for a performance that combines humor, tenderness, and madness in equal measure.

The humor is direct, gestural, and sometimes ridiculous, but it works because the underlying message is clear: the truth, even if it hurts, is necessary. This is what Fletcher learns during his chaotic journey of forced honesty, where he confronts his legal cases and his own reflection as a father.
