After Carrey returns from the bathroom after having beaten himself up, the judge says that he has no choice but to suspend the hearing "unless, of course, you feel as if you can continue", to which Carrey, not being able to lie, must respond yes. However, Carrey had been asking all day for a continuance without the spell stopping him from doing so. It's not a lie that Carrey couldn't have continued with his case considering the spell he was under, so he should've been able to answer "no" [When Carrey said that he would really like a continuance, he wasn't lying, as he obviously did really want a continuance, but when the judge asked if he felt he could continue, he obviously did feel he could continue. So there is no mistake here.]Liar Liar (1997) - 30 corrections

In the scene where Fletcher is on the courthouse steps after beating himself senseless, Max calls Fletcher on his cell phone and tells him about the kids that want to play ball with him now. Max asks if Fletcher is still coming and if he still wants to be Jose Canseco and Fletcher replies, "Of course. Who else is going to hit that famous Nomo slider". Baseball enthusiasts know that Nomo is famous for his "splitter" or split-finger fastball not a slider. [Keep in mind that Fletcher is not always the most attentive father. Max might have talked about the famous Nomo splitter but Fletcher didn't pay enough attention so he remembers it as the Nomo slider.]
When Max is having his fifth birthday party at the beginning of the movie, there is a clown and a bunch of adults hanging around having a good time. If this party was for a 5 year old and had a clown present, why were there no other children the same age? There were only a group of adults. What child wants to have a party like that? [There are children there. You see them in other shots.]
In the scene where Fletcher is bashing himself up in the bathroom, he rubs soap in his eyes and bashes himself up pretty bad. I mean he even faints when he smashes himself into the wall. He shouldn't have to lie to the judge about whether he feels well enough to finish the trial. He should be able to tell the judge 'no' because it looks like he beat himself up pretty bad. [Fletcher could have just been hoping that the judge didn't ask if he could continue, because deep down, he may have felt able to, even if he was in extreme pain. He was probably hoping that the judge would just let him go just from the sight of him, but this obviously wasn't the case.]
At the end, Fletcher proves that since his client was underage at the time she signed the prenuptial agreement, the contract was null and void, and she won the money. BUT... the reason she lied about her age was so that she could get married... but a marriage license is a legal contract, too, which would mean that since she was underage, the marriage was null and void also. Therefore, she would not be owed one cent, because she was never legally married to the guy. Can't be a common law marrige, as they only exist in 15 states. I think they were supposed to have lived during their marrige in California, which isn't one of them. See: http://marriage.about.com/cs/commonlaw/ht/commonlaw.htm. [The marriage would actually be valid because a minor only has a certain amount of time (typically, 6 months) to invalidate a contract entered into when such person was underage once that person turns 18 (or the age of emancipation in that state). After that time has passed, the contract (here, the marriage) would be valid. Since the client was married for more than 6 months after she turned 18 and she never declared the marriage invalid, the marriage would still be valid.]
Jim Carrey is cursed so that he cannot lie. But in the courtroom, when he is filed for contempt, he yells "I'm Jose Conseco. I'm Jose Conseco." How could he say that if he couldn't tell a lie? [ While this is not technically true, Fletcher was planning to play the role of Jose Canseco when he and Max played catch together.]
When Fletcher goes to Max's school and speaks to him the bell goes and Max says "mom said we are moving to Boston." How did Max know if his mom said she would tell him AFTER school? [Max's mom said, "I have something important to talk to you about", as she was dropping him off at school. It shows her taking his hand and leading him away, this is where she probably told him about moving to Boston. She never said, "I'll tell you after school".]
When Fletcher's secretary, Greta, is walking away from him because she is angry, she asks him what he would have gotten her friend because of the burglar, and he says $10,000. Then he says he didn't understand the question...that is a lie because he already told the truth. [Greta did not ask what Fletcher would have gotten the burglar, she asked if the man getting the money was fair, and to Fletcher, a defense lawyer, it was not fair because he could have gotten the defendant more money. So in essence, he didn't understand the question. Greta meant fair to her friend, he was refering to fair for the burgler.]Previous Page • 1 2
