Big Fat Liar kicks off my Amanda Bynes marathon, and was her first movie role after gaining a name through her TV-shows at Nickelodeon. Here she stars as Frankie Muniz' sidekick in this Family Comedy about the lying boy, for once telling the truth as about the origin of a Hollywood story. Muniz' and Bynes' character heads for Hollywood to make the sleazy big shot producer admit he stole the idea for next summers big Hollywood hit Big Fat Liar.
It's a tale about morale, friendship and adventure, and despite not being Muniz' greatest fan this movie works quite well. Both leads get to show off comedic talent, Paul Giamatti is a great villain and there's a lot of fun revenge creativity in the mold of the humor from the Home Alone-franchise. There's also quite a lot of pop cultural references baked into the movie, making it worth while for the adults watching. Still. This is a family movie made for kids, and I imagine they'll enjoy it.
