Though there's nothing that offensive about Big Fat Liar, it is filled with Hollywood cliches and cartoonish slapstick, making it strictly for kids.

Billed as a family film, only very young children will be able to dive into the story without banging their heads.

Looks like a so-so TV movie that kept getting zeros put on its budget without the gags being added in equal measure.

A hilarious film for anyone who remembers lying as a kid -- and anyone who wants to see a movie that's just plain fun.

The makers of Big Fat Liar understand kids. That alone earns it a place in the list of genuinely funny comedies for kids.

Even adults will appreciate the comedy, and making a film that gets the whole family chuckling is tougher than it sounds.

Uneven at best, but it has a certain giddy charm that makes it worth checking out.

It's crafty, energetic and smart -- the kid is sort of like a fourteen-year old Ferris Bueller.
