Trivialidades:

Jim Carrey declined the role of Dr. Evil in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) so he could be committed to this film.

Errores:

Continuidad: When Fletcher is in court he is wearing light-brown shoes. After winning the case, he is held in contempt by the judge and thrown in jail. After Greta bails him out, he rushes to the airport and steals aircraft stairs. After chasing the plane, he finally throws one of his shoes at the pilot's cabin. The shoe is red.

Citas:

Gotta love the concept

Jim Carrey is an attorney, who finds putting his family before his work to be a tough challenge, when he fails to show up at his son's birthday party; his son make a wish that prevents him from lying. With a huge career changing case that is based solely on lies about to go to trial, he is stuck in an unfamiliar position, that may just change his life.

Jim Carrey is on top form for this one, giving one of his most hilarious performances to date, he is well supported by the likes of Jennifer Tilly, Swoosie Kurtz and Amanda Donohue, and the winning concept of the movies theme realises its potential.

7/10 Great fun
