		Big Fat Liar is nothing more than an adolescent fantasy, where kids can do anything they set their mind to and humiliate adults at the same time.
		This is obvious because of the numerous on camera displays of the soda, as well as the placing of the film inside Universal Studios with numerous identifiable landmarks passing by in the backgrounds.
		Nevertheless, this is a movie for children, and the main character is constant liar.

	Big Fat Liar (2002): Reviews
		Big Fat Liar becomes a progression of increasingly elaborate slapstick stunts, in the brutal, noisy "Home Alone" vein, in which the complexity of the pranks rarely yields a commensurate comic reward.
		A lame collection of dumber-than-dumb gags, the quality of Big Fat Liar is on par with that of the worst television sit-com gorged to four times its normal size.
		Big Fat Liar's screenplay, co-written by Robbins and fellow Head Of The Class alumnus Dan Schneider, is a model of comic inefficiency.

	Big Fat Liar- Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews
		Joining in The Game of Liar, Liar (points to all adults so bored that they can point to all the, uh, homages in the script) are teevee stars Steve Urkel, um, Jaleel White, and Lee Majors looking none the worse for wear stripped of this six million dollar bionics.
		We know that Big Fat Liar isn't the total boring disaster (from this adult's POV) that Snow Dogs was but it's still going to do business since there's nothing in it that should have parents worried about nasty influences like bad language or spurting blood violence.
		Big Fat Liar, for all its visual flash and reality-free storyline, is fairly gentle and inoffensive.

	BIG FAT LIAR - DVD
		Big Fat Liar, most surprisingly, hints at a kind of Cecil B. Demented Hollywood deconstruction while retaining much of the wonder and magic that drew most of us to the movies in the first place.
		Still, Big Fat Liar takes pains to feature a multi-racial supporting cast, and it resists the temptation (as Snow Dogs does not) of treeing the fl guy and suggesting that he tastes like chicken.
		Note: before Big Fat Liar starts, the viewer is forced to watch a commercial for Bynes' new sitcom "What I Like About You" (skip and fast-forward functions have been disabled for it); Bynes is also your personal (and impatient!) tour guide through the menus.

	DVD Review: Big Fat Liar
		"Big Fat Liar", supported by some of the worst trailers I've seen for a film in recent memory, actually turns out to be a fine kid's picture - nothing too out-of-the-ordinary, but fun and witty enough to be a nice way to pass a little over an hour.
		"Big Fat Liar" is slight fare - I could easily imagine it being a TV movie instead - but it's still a fine effort from all involved.
		SOUND: "Big Fat Liar" is presented in both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 on this presentation.

	Big Fat Liar (2001)
		On the strength of that underwhelming moral message, Big Fat Liar asks us to overlook all the lying, stealing, vandalism, and other rollicking hijinks perpetrated by the hero in order to show his parents that he really is worthy of their trust and respect after all.
		Big Fat Liar is the story of a kid who’s a Big Fat Liar, who writes a school paper titled "Big Fat Liar," which falls into the hands of a Hollywood producer who’s a Big Fat Liar, who steals the kid’s story and makes it into a movie called… well, you know.
		Big Fat Liar wants to be this year’s Spy Kids, but it’s actually more of a cross between an older-set Home Alone and a younger-set Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

		When Jason realizes that "Big Fat Liar" is being touted as next summer's must-see film, he talks his best friend, Kaylee (Amanda Bynes), into accompanying him to Hollywood so he can prove to his parents that he really did write his paper and is deserving of their trust.
		"Big Fat Liar" is a little bit "Home Alone," a little bit "Spy Kids" and a little bit "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles," another movie set partially on a movie lot.
		It makes a case for being truthful, although it might have helped to focus more on Jason's life in Michigan before shipping him off to Los Angeles We don't get to see just how much of a big fat liar he is, before he encounters one even bigger in the town that truth forgot.

		Not only did Wolf steal "Big Fat Liar," it's set to be next year's must-see movie.

		Younger viewers may prefer Snow Dogs, but Big Fat Liar is a perfect treat for the early preteen-age crowd.

	Big Fat Liar - Movie Review
		Like those in Home Alone, the pranks in Big Fat Liar will surely please the film’s target audience; however, the messages it tries to infuse with all its fun contradict the premise of the story.
		However, adults who are looking to Big Fat Liar to provide a social commentary to their kids on the virtues of telling the truth will find the film comes up well short.
		In fact, the message Big Fat Liar tries to get across about the truth not being overrated is contradicted by the countless lies and deceptions Jason and Kaylee concoct to execute their plan.

		Big fat flop: Humor is lacking in Frankie Muniz-Amanda Bynes flick
		This film, which teams TV stars Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes, is the kind of low-wattage, live-action cartoon tale that regularly starred Tommy Kirk and, later, a young Kurt Russell, when Disney was producing them in the 1960s and early '70s.
		To avoid summer school and get himself out of a self-created jam with his English teacher, he writes an overdue short story called "Big Fat Liar" and rushes off with it to meet his homework deadline.

		Big Fat Liar is a lot of fun.
		Giamatti plays this role with such vigor that you literally enjoy hating him, and every second he's on screen is a lot of fun.
		Big Fat Liar also has something else I like in movies, cameos, though the ones here are a little more obscure than most.

	DVD.net : Big Fat Liar (Rental) - DVD Review
		Coming into Big Fat Liar a fan of Malcolm in the Middle, I was initially a little disappointed by this largely formulaic offering.
		And so we come to Big Fat Liar, not a bad film by any means, but one whose DTS mix, provided in addition to a serviceable Dolby Digital 5.1 track, reeks of marketing-fuelled overkill.
		Suffice to say that, whilst the DTS mix is a welcome addition to Big Fat Liar, with the exception of an increase in fidelity, the differences between it and its Dolby Digital 5.1 mix are minimal.

	Big Fat Liar \| ajc.com
		Review: "Big Fat Liar" is a movie about the movie business made by people who think we don't know anything about the movie business.
		The shallow, scheming movie producer, who steals an idea from a story Jason wrote and turns it into a movie called"Big Fat Liar," shouts at everyone who crosses his path — his driver, his assistant, even his stunt coordinator (Lee Majors in a mildly funny cameo).
		Jason and Kaylee trek from Michigan to Hollywood to force Marty to admit to Jason's dad that he stole the idea, because Jason's dad thinks he's — you guessed it — a big fat liar.

	Big Fat Liar - Movie Review
		Built on the long-labored template of a cute kid elaborately pranking crooked adults, "Big Fat Liar" is basically a junior high school "Home Alone"-meets-"Ferris Bueller" set on a Hollywood back lot.
		Despite being weakly scripted, cliché-driven, under-directed and over-acted, "Big Fat Liar" is kept afloat by the screwball performance of noisy nebbish character actor Giamatti ("Planet of the Apes," "Big Momma's House," "Man on the Moon").
		But while "Big Fat Liar" hardly qualifies as archetypal kiddie fare -- especially since its finale is ridiculously, pointlessly convoluted -- as Saturday matinee fodder (or better yet, as a $3 rental in six months' time) it's amusing enough to recommend as fun for kids and agreeable for parents.
