- Jim Carrey is most known for his hilarious movies and larger than life characters. Movies like Dumb and Dumber, The Mask, and Ace Ventura put Jim Carrey on the map for most of the world. But his turn in Liar Liar, proved that Jim Carrey was capable of both off the wall slapstick comedy, and a much more dramatic tone. Liar Liar paved the way for Jim Carrey to land roles in films like The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Without Liar Liar, the world may have never seen Jim Carrey's full range as an actor.

I liked that they made the new boyfriend genuinely likable, instead of obviously evil, like most examples.
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAWHas anyone ever invited you to a party?
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW movies and shows always make the "new guy" a bad guy. This time the father was bad and became good.
Buzz off with your needless negativity
They did this with Ant-Man as well... to the point where the new guy is pretty much liked by everyone
Also with Venom
@@rossburney8713 Ant Man came out 18 years after Liar Liar. Let's not equate the two as if they both did something groundbreaking...
The part where he blurts our “I’m a bad father” is heartbreakingly sublime
Touching on the contract this channel shows about the movie, the same moment is played up for laughs in a different scene when he shouts out "Oh, I'm such a SHIT!" and then realizes that he apparently wasn't lying when he said that lol
I came to the comments to give them props for highlighting the, "I'm a bad father" line. Downright iconic
Psy ops to perpetrate white culture for civil control, and reduce domestic social mobility. Imagine being such a spoiled shit that you actively enjoy living.
I know this movie sound for sound. Seen it about 25 years ago. I've cried annual to it.
the look of reflections and realization really hits you with that line....he's saying the truth
So many roles that ONLY Jim Carrey could have pulled off...
Ace Ventura, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, The Grinch(2000), and Me Myself Irene...
Nobody but Jim could give these parts the mojo they truly needed.
I still can't believe 3 of those movies became Saturday morning cartoons after the fact:
Ace Ventura on CBS
Dumb and Dumber on ABC
The Mask on The CW
Tom Hanks could've played Truman really well.
@@anubusxTom Hanks was an incredible comedic actor in the 80s

Batman forever as the riddler
Jim completely nailed the dramatic lead he played in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Saw it earlier this year, wished I saw it sooner
He and Kate are amazing and real
@@ninjanibba4259 yes, Truman Show, Man on the Moon and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are his only successful dramatic movies. He did other serious movies like The Majestic and Number 23, but those were flops unfortunately
I remember when i saw this movie in the cinema. It is one of those rare movies that had me on the floor from start to finish. Jim Carrey going all out in every possible way. Fantastic performance.
Yes, Jim Carrey is the most amazingly talented comedian in cinema history next to Robin Williams. There’s no one else more talented and versatile than those 2
Liar liar is one of the best comedy movies!! Especially when he beats himself up in the bathroom. "I'm kicking my own ass. Do you mind!?" 😅😅😅
“I found him like this in the bathroom, your honor… somebody beat the hell out of him” 🤣
The irony of Jim Carrey’s potential drama range in Liar Liar.
The Truman Show was immediately his next film, after Liar Liar that truly embraces his versatility as an actor.
And Man on the Moon in '99 as well.
@@wallacerose8663yes, he won Golden Globes for both of those roles. His other beloved dramatic movie was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Christopher Nolan actually wrote a script for a Howard Hughes biopic many years ago with Jim Carrey in mind to play the lead. He's said that it was a role that Jim Carrey was born to play. Sadly, even before Nolan could begin working on the movie Martin Scorcese's The Aviator was released (a Howard Hughes biopic).
Such a shame we'll never get to see the most unexpected Actor-Director combo.
Other actors who were considered for Truman Show were Robin Williams and Gary Oldman… both of which would’ve been interesting. But the director solely wanted Jim Carrey
The part that always makes me cry , is when his client goes after full child custody, even though they just won a major case. And Jim is opposed because the guy is a good father. Jim can act!
To this day, the best legal advice I have heard is Carrey's "Stop breaking the law asshole!" Hands down one my favorite movies of all time. I also agree that the bad father line is very well delivered and why I love Jim's performances. Well most of the time lol
"I hold myself in contempt" will never not break me. Peak Jim Carrey
This is one of my favorite movies. My family and I still find ourselves saying things from this all these years later. I've seen this movie countless times and it never gets old to me.
Liar Liar doesn’t get enough respect I love that movie.
Jim Carrey has so many roles that only he can do that if anyone else did them it wouldn’t work from playing Edward Nygma to Harry in Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura and playing Andy Koffman
What are you talking about?! Yes it was!
Liar Liar is considered one his best movie, as well as one of the best comedies of all time anyway!
I’m so sick of ignorant people being misinformed about reality and saying false things on UA-cam
He had hints of dramatic acting in The Mask as well
Bruce Almighty too, bigger drama in that one
I want a full video on the ridiculous talent it takes to apply these layers of stress and tension in the comedic moments in this film. The way he performs it like he's literally paralyzed and I'd having an ocd freak out about it Is brilliant
*lawyers of stress
I just rewatched this for the first time since the 90's when I was too young to fully appreciate it. It still holds up. A great film to this day!🎉
Was actually going through some stuff at my moms this week, stepdad died Monday. Found a bunch of all my old VHS tapes from when I was a kid, and still had a copy of Liar Liar.
So sorry for your loss
"I HOLD MYSELF IN CONTEMPT, WHY SHOULD YOU BE ANY DIFFRENT!!!!" Jims delivery of that line damn near brings me to tears the amount of emotion in his voice and on his face is amazing this proved that Jim was more than just funny silly man and he proved that even more in The Truman Show
Eternal Sunshine is one of the great masterpieces of cinema and the fact that it was Carrey was at the center of it along with the likes of Winslet's manic pixie girl, Gondry's wild whimsical directing, and Charlie Kaufman's masterful script is proof that he's truly capable of above and beyond tragicomedic acting.
I cant imagine Joel as anyone else despite the depressed energy he had because it felt like Carrey brought a very human side to the character in a way only he could do.
Also, let's not forget another outing he had where his performance was masterful: MAN ON THE MOON
Eternal Sunshine remains in the top slot for my favorite movie, and largely because Carrey brought Joel to life so well. He had exactly the dry humor and hint of self-aware melodrama that the role needed and that resonates perfectly with the character and people in similar positions.
@@bricelory9534yes, he’s the most versatile comedian in cinema history next to Robin Williams.
Truman Show was his most beloved dramatic movie though
@@nsasupporter7557 true, it resonated so well with more people. Eternal Sunshine is too weird, I think, for most people to enjoy as much.
@@nsasupporter7557 I agree. It was a mass-produced Kaufman film. It's deep but only about as much so as needed for mainstream audiences - like Inception. On the nose filmmaking. But Eternal Sunshine was far more human, deep, nuanced, and truly enlightening.
I absolutely adoreeeee this film
I was young when I first saw it.. And before this I saw a remake of this film in one of my country's language.. But this film absolutely had me dying!!
This was the movie that made me fall in love with Jim Carrey as an actor and star! ❤
Honestly one of the best movies of the 90s, It's cemented in a generation of kids memories.
@5:45 This part shocked me when I first saw it. I remember it so well and it's what caused me to look at Jim Carey differently. I remember watching it and rewinding it just to hear it as it pulled on my emotional strings. That feeling holds true years later.
He nailed the Truman Show, I cry every time I’ve see it and I’ve seen it many times.
Fun fact: the director only wanted Jim Carrey for the role of Truman Burbank. In fact, production was put on hold until Carrey became available to star in the movie because he was unavailable at the time when the movie was written. Other actors were considered like Robin Williams and Gary Oldman, but the director specifically wanted Jim Carrey.
Same here. So wonderful, watching him slowly realize his life wasn't quite his own.
I absolutely love this movie. Probably watched 10+ times. From the name of the movie all the way to the laughters🤣and the tears behind🥺. I super love this movie and the peak of Jim Carrey
Liar Liar Easter Egg: Carrey sneaking his Fire Marshall Bill cameo into the post-plane/stretcher scene was unhinged genius and I can’t believe the studio kept it in the final edit even with the extras around him breaking hard.
I agree 100% thank you for this I have been saying the same thing for years that he is actually a full actor and not just a comedic actor
I saw this as a kid and it was the first Jim Carry movie I remember REALLY liking. Of course I had seen ace ventura, and I liked that, but I enjoyed this AS A MOVIE. The way I enjoyed Jurassic Park and Independence Day. I was surprised because it didn’t have explosions, or dinosaurs, yet I really liked it a lot. I haven’t seen the movie since, but this video reminded me why it was so good, in ways I could t articulate back then. Glad to see this movie get some love.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about, this movie has always been loved. It’s considered one of his best movies as well as one of the best movies in general anyway
The court bathroom scene where Jim Carrey is
"kicking his own ass" Is by far the funniest scene in the movie!
Gets me every single god damn time 😂
“Who did this?!”
“A mad man, your honor! A desperate fool at the end of his pitiful rope.”
Thank you, I feel vindicated because I've been saying this for years. This is definitely the moment in time where we saw Carrey flex the dramatic muscle and realize it was strong.
I LOVE that movie!! Always watch a little when it passes on the telley. 😊
I also think the dramatic elements in The Cable Guy before this also showed this off. Granted it was dark and villainous but there's plenty character deep down.
This is an amazing coincidence. I JUST finished watching Liar, Liar this afternoon.
Jim was in a Made for TV movie in the early nineties called Doing Time on Maple Drive. There he already showed his dramatic skills.
I knew it as early as Ace Ventura. There was one scene where Ace insults Courtney Cox, feels bad and goes to apologize. He drops all the Ace Ventura schtick, gets serious and all he says is “Melissa, I…. Uh….” And you can see all the heart sorrow he feels in just a few seconds. It was right there where I wondered what he’d be like in a serious dramatic role.
i just got into a argument the other day about this, jim carrey can do drama not just comedy
I was so surprised by the film “The Number 23” and finding that Jim was in that movie. The first serious film I’d seen him in.
Truman Show was his first dramatic movie. Man on the Moon and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind were all of his best dramas… Number 23 was a flop
Yeah I've been thinking thos recently. In 20 years I see it and Jim Carrey's performance being heralded for what it is
Liar Liar is to Jim Carrey is what Big Daddy is to Adam Sandler. 2 hilarious movies that make me cry
No, adam sandler sucks
This is why "Liar, Liar" is my favorite Jim Carrey movie, perid
I liked seeing Jim Carrey cameo at the end of Liar Liar.
When he is on the stretcher, take a look at one of the fire fighters
There’s a good bit of dramatic acting in “The Mask” too. His role when he’s not in the Mask is as good as this one too.
I watched this movie last night. I haven't seen it in years and the pace of the movie is so fast but i mean that in a good way. A lot of funny moments as well! I always liked this film.
I saw this movie so much as a kid i can say all the lines from the scenes shown in the video.
I wish we could go back to movies like that.
Just rewatched this movie last year, totally holds up.
Jim Carey proved in 1992 in the movie Doing Time On Maple Drive he was great at dramatic acting.
once bitten as well
@@poindextertunesboth those movies were before he was a star. So those are generally overlooked
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is still a film I go back to…
Yes, Truman Show, Man on the Moon and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are his most successful dramatic movies. He did other serious movies like the Majestic and Number 23 but those were flops unfortunately though
His face is so expressive, the Mask almost feels like non-cg
A very underrated Jim Carrey movie 🎥
I really enjoy these comedies that add in some emotional layer. Another example for me is Click. Adam Sandler does typical Adam Sandler things, but also conveys a heartfelt message of whats important in life.
It’s probably my favorite Adam movie
terrible movie
@@ninjanibba4259adam sandler sucks, just because he does “dramatic movies” doesn’t mean he’s good in them. All he plays is adam sandler in all of his movies even his dramatic movies
@@poindextertunesthank you! Good to see you know a bad movie when you see one. Adam sandler sucks, he always has
@@nsasupporter7557 did he come to your house and pee on your furniture or something? Calm yourself
He’s a required taste, whether you like him or not is subjective, he is objectively a good actor, that’s like saying Will Ferrell yells a lot to sound funny to compensate for his lack of talent…oh wait
You wanna hate on someone, choose him, Adam got the Mark Twain award for a reason
Honestly this is my fave Jim Carrey film!
Absolutely love this movie! Thanks for bringing us your perspective about it
Letting his kid have that haircut was his biggest mistake as a dad.
For kids: the mask, dumb and dumber, liar liar, yes man, pet ventura etc. - tho adults also enjoy these flixs
For adults: the cable guy,Truman show, eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind etc.
One of the greatest actor and entertainer.
Those movies weren’t really for kids though
I feel the The Grinch and Sonic are the ones for kids
This movie is why I always shout
NO
while nodding yes
And shouting
YES
While nodding no
I had a colleague in school who liked Carrey and acted like him during breaks
This is spot on. I was never interested in The Mask or Ace Ventura and thought he was too much. Liar Liar was the movie that changed my mind about him and I went on to enjoy plenty of his other movies.
Eternal Sunshine is one of my all time favorite movies. I loved the range it shows that Carrey had/has.
Nobody can replace Jim Carrey!
Such an amazing actor. I love his comedy a little more than his drama films
She was a monster in the film. But boy did I fall in love with Jennifer Tilly from that day on. Ha.
Liar Liar is probably Jim Carrey's top 5 best.
Not gonna lie but there is actually a scene in "Dumb and Dumber" where he is crying and screaming with Jeff Daniels because they have no money and no jobs for paying the house and that was an excellent acting moment
Yes, it’s never been a surprise that he could do drama… It’s just very unfortunate that alot of people still can’t see it.
So many people just dismiss him as “just another typical comedian who does the samething everytime” which is completely false
I think Carrey is a fantastic dramatic actor and a fantastic comedian at the same time. Don't know anybody else who master these two domains at the same time as well
Exactly and ontop of that, he’s very versatile as a comedian… he plays different characters in his comedies. He only further showed his versatility with his dramatic roles.
Love Carey and all the movies, but Liar Liar is definitely the top of my list and high up on my favorites overall.
Yes…
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
The Mask
Dumb and Dumber
Liar Liar. Those are the best Jim Carrey movies… as far as his comedies go
I dont like Joss Whedon but he made it a point to hire comedic actors to do dramatic parts. Wish I could find the quote through the sea of all the crap that's come to light recently but I can't.
If i remember correctly, I think his reasoning was you can get a funny guy to do serious. But you can't always get a serious guy to do funny. I agree with him and feel like it applies to Jim Carrey
If I haven’t got a cable guy video then I need one
The greatest actors are the ones who can be the roll and never consider being anyone else. Ever since I first saw him on "In Living Color" I knew he was an amazing actor. He didn't need to poke fun of anyone but himself to be funny. It's rare to see a comedian exclusively laugh at themselves in a world were stand up completely controlled comedy. To me, he wasn't just a physical comedian. He embodied the character he was playing. So when I saw him in Cable Guy, in that last scene, needing a friend. I knew it wasn't just the message, it was Jim's acting. Even now, in what could be his last role of his career as Dr. Robotnic. He made me do a double take in the last scene of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I lagitametly thought they got Mike Pollock to do the voice coming out of the egg mech. But it was Jim doing the role justice. He has allways been the best entertainer I have ever witnessed and he did so by not judging his roles. So many "actors" refuse roles that Jim jumps at the chance to try. Out of embarrassment, because of there "image". I say they just aren't able to handle the acting prowess needed to take on the role.
I think The Mask did a good job of showing his serious side too, as Stanley
Stanley Ipkiss was kind of a sad character, in the way that he was such a “door mat”
The god damn pen is blue 🔵 lmao
The problem is not that he can't lie. The problem is all other people can.
The thing sbout Jim that works so well, is that he's very conveniently good looking. But not so good looking that it's unnatural. So that makes him personable. Similarly to Phil Hartman.
Never heard anybody say that Phil Hartman was attractive though lol
I always forget how good this movie is until I watch it again
Eternal is my favorite jim carrey performance..
07:13 'it eas really surprising to see the guy behind The Mask'
Oh, get you clever clogs!
Eternal sunshine is an amazing film.
JIM is a underrated genius.
Channel him and you will get amazing results
Jim Carrey is not underrated!! He’s one of the biggest stars of all time! What is wrong with you?? Would everybody please shut up about mindlessly calling everything “underrated!” It’s annoying as hell
@@nsasupporter7557 and i want people to stop patrolling the comment sections of UA-cam being mean to people while completely misreading and misunderstanding their comments
Dude, let me ask you something… do you even know the definition of underrated, or do you just like to mindlessly say inaccurate things?
@@nsasupporter7557 Dude, let me ask you something, did you even read my commennt
My favourite comedy of all time
My favorite movie is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and he is just ::sigh:: perfect in it 🤍
Love love this movie forever
One of my favorites of Jim's only second to Me, Myself, & Irene.
Yes… Me, Myself and Irene is the most under appreciated Jim Carrey movie! It’s a crime how much that movie flew under the radar
@@nsasupporter7557 it has to be a top 5,10 comedy movie all time.
@@nsasupporter7557 He said, oh she will be eating blubber just as soon as I free willy.
It's like Adam Sandler in Click for me.
He might've done a dramatic role prior but that's where I was like oh shit he can actually act.
Adam sandler sucks. Just because he does “dramatic movies” doesn’t mean he’s good in them
This is my favorite Jim Carrey movie
This being a UA-cam which caters to the English speaking audience, it is World wide and I wish to showcase one actor from India playing in Tamil movies named "S J Suryah"
He has mentioned in many interviews that he has been inspired by Jim Carrey and you can witness the effect of Jim Carrey in his wonderful performances.
Try his movies like Monster(2019), Nenjam Marappathillai(2021) and Mark Antony(2023)
You can see how Jim Carrey's spiritual discipline performance
One Of My Favourite Movie Liar Liar Jim Carrey Always Best
I’d love a video on the Little Rascals.
Easily one of the greatest actors of his generation. He and Robin both
I love liar liar
Jim definitely Carrey'd that movie! 👍👏🤪🤪
Ha! Nice pun
05:00 let's take a moment to adore Krista Allen
I'm pretty sure I popped a rib bone laughing so hard during this movie.
But more on point, I loved him in "The Majestic", which was truly a dramatic role (no comedy). I thought he was excellent in that movie.
Stanley Ipkiss should get a mention for being an earlier character with some dramatic humanity.
Stanley Ipkiss started off as a “sad character.” Because he was such a door mat. But the Mask helped him gain more self worth
Everyone is sleeping on Jim Carey's 'The Majestic'
That’s because the Majestic was a flop unfortunately. It was a good story and plot, but the movie itself was boring as hell sorry to say
This pen is blue.
He's a one man hurricane.
I loved jim in the majestic
Yes, unfortunately it was a flop though. It had a great story and plot but the movie was boring as hell sorry to say, gotta be honest
Max made the wish at 8:15. Two of Lost's cursed numbers.
Cable Guy is unfairly maligned. I love it.
No it’s not. People like to say it was a flop, but everybody loves Cable Guy. I’ve heard nothing but positivity about it
I forget if this film came before Liar Liar, but The Majestic is also a good attempt from Jim really getting his dramatic roles down.
Yes, definitely however the Majestic was a flop unfortunately though.
@nsasupporter7557 Yes, but personally I'm unsure why. It was a very charming story. The relationship with Jim and the Father was very heartwarming and sad.
@@FunnyMuffin90210 yes, I agree with you wholeheartedly. However, the movie was boring as hell… sorry to say. It had a great story and plot, but the movie was just very slow and it dragged alot
@nsasupporter7557 shoot, I can agree to that. Definitely wasn't perfect
@@FunnyMuffin90210 did you know that the director of the film was Frank Darabont? He was the same director as Shawshank Redemption and the Green Mile?
Liar Liar is my favorite Jim Carrey movie
