One Jim Carrey Movie Perfectly Explains His Entire Career
Jim Carrey has had a very eclectic career, and his 1997 comedy Liar Liar encapsulates the many different sides his acting has shown. Ahead of Carrey's return as Dr. Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, he revealed that he is retiring from acting soon, explaining his career satisfaction as: "I have enough, I've done enough, I am enough." There is no doubt he will leave behind a great comedic legacy, as well as a fine dramatic one. After his breakout role in the sketch comedy show In Living Color, Carrey broke out into movies in 1994 with three consecutive comedy hits: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber. On the back of that incredible winning streak, Carrey would become one of the biggest comedic stars in the world. Subsequent hits like Batman Forever, Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Bruce Almighty, and theSonic movies are just a small sample of the heights of his movie career. Meanwhile, Liar Liar remains one of his most beloved comedies 25 years after its release.
In Liar Liar, the Ace Ventura star plays Fletcher Reede, a workaholic lawyer and compulsive liar, which creates difficulties in his relationship with his ex-wife, Audrey (Maura Tierney), and son, Max (Justin Cooper). After Fletcher breaks his promise to attend Max's fifth birthday party, Max makes a wish that Fletcher cannot tell a lie for just one day. Max's wish ends up coming true, with Fletcher forced to tell the truth at extremely embarrassing and inopportune moments, which greatly complicates a divorce case he's currently handling. While undeniably a comedy, Liar Liar captures the full spectrum of Carrey's career and his range as an actor.
