What can I say? I'm not much of a Muniz fan at all.
Besides this film, I'd say his other great film would be My Dog Skip. Skip the rest.

This movie was absolutely hilarious. It was non stop laughs after they set it up. The perfect combination of actors young and old I was very Impressd. For a comedy this is at the top. I could get into the principle the message and a few other things that makes this movie great but I'd rather stick to it being just fun entertainment.

This is (right now) my favorite comedy and it's so good! The plot is unique and interesting, and my two favorite actor and actresses, Frankie Muniz (Agent Cody Banks) and Amanda Bynes (What a Girl Wants) are in it!
The Plot: Jason (Muniz) is a boy who lies a lot. After lying his way out from getting into trouble for not writing an English essay and getting found out, his teacher gives him a change to write his English essay again and pass it out at 6 that evening. If not, he will have to go to summer school.
Jason finishes the paper (which is titled Big Fat Liar) and on the way to school, he accidentally hits into a car. In the car is a famous Hollywood producer, Marty Wolf (Paul Giamatti). Jason gets a ride but then he forgets his paper inside the car. Jason's English teacher thinks he's lying and he has to go to summer school.
Meanwhile, Marty Wolf uses Jason's story's plot for his new movie. Jason sees a preview of it and gets angry. With his best friend Kaylee (Bynes), he goes to Hollywood and plays a couple of pranks on Wolf that make him give back the paper. This is the best part in the movie. ^_^
I'm not saying what happens at the end, but anyway, this movie is really good and funny. A very good family film.

Okay, I'll admit that before I watched this movie, I thought it was going to be completely stupid and idiotic. Then I watched it and I thought hey this is pretty okay! Most people (especially adults) see a preview for a movie like this and they just say 'ugh, more stupid movies.' But despite the reputations of the main characters, this is pretty good. It's hilarious, don't get me wrong, but this movie really shows the determination of a teenage boy trying to follow his dreams.

Frankie Muniz does an excellent job making himself look like a kid who has told "one too many" lies, and now suffers "cry wolf" syndrome.

After Jason Shepherd notices a Hollywood director (he had an accident with) has stolen his English paper and turned it into a successful movie script, he (played by Muniz) sets out on a hilarious adventure to get credit for his work. The best part about the movie is I truly believe something like this has probably happened before...only the person with the stolen screenplay probably did not have the brain power of Muniz and Bynes!

The movie is good clean fun for the whole family. Amanda Bynes knows how to play to the camera, as does just about everyone involved with this movie. Paul Giamatti's "Hungry Like The Wolf Dance" as a blue-colored moron was one of the funniest scenes in a PG movie in a while.

Buy it, watch it, laugh...
