This absolutely makes me howl with laughter. It's Carrey at his comic best! It's simple plot allows for the minimum of set-up, so that Carrey can get down to some classic clowning. If you don't, at least, titter at this, you need a check-up from the neck up.
Forced by his son's birthday wish, fast-talking attorney and habitual liar Fletcher Reede must tell the truth for the next 24 hours.
