				Plot Summary: 
				Fletcher Reede, a fast-talking lawyer, relies on lies to succeed 
				in his career and often disappoints his young son, Max. After 
				Fletcher misses Max's birthday party, Max makes a wish that his 
				father would be unable to lie for one day. The wish comes true, 
				forcing Fletcher to navigate his life and a crucial court case 
				without being able to utter a single untruth. Dad's Preview: 
				This is one of Carrey's funnier films, and that is saying 
				plenty. He's at the top of his out-of-freaking-control game here, as a lawyer who, 
				thanks to his son's birthday wish, 
				has been cursed to not lie for an entire day... and he's a slimy 
				defense attorney. He cannot politely lie to the beggar outside 
				the courthouse, or to the woman who asks how she looks. He also 
				cannot bear false witness about his buxom client whole demands 
				custody of her children, even though she's been sleeping with 
				half of L.A. Carrey 
				milks this fertile comedy cow for all she's worth. The courtroom finale is one 
				for the record books.
