Erbak Movie Reviews presents a film that flips the truth—and your perspective—on its head.
For some, lying is a skill. For others, it’s a painful necessity. But we believe in neither. We’re firm believers in pure, unfiltered honesty.
That’s why this week’s pick is Liar Liar—a hilarious yet thought-provoking journey through right, wrong, and everything in between.
Wins and Losses
Fletcher Reede was a high-flying attorney—one of the best. Nothing could stand in his way when it came to winning a case. But along the way, his ambition devoured his heart.
He’d lost sight of his values. He’d lost his marriage. He was even losing his son, Max. But Fletcher didn’t notice—he was too busy climbing the corporate ladder.
Lies That Seemed Harmless
Fletcher had built a life around carefully crafted lies. When Max’s birthday rolled around, Fletcher chose to chase a promotion instead of attending his son’s party.
His plan? Skip the party, sweeten the blow with an expensive gift, and seal a career-boosting relationship with his boss.
What could go wrong?
A Magical Wish
Max, heartbroken by yet another missed promise, made a quiet wish:
“I wish my dad couldn’t tell a lie for one whole day.”
And just like that, the universe granted it.
The result? Fletcher’s worst nightmare.
Brutal Honesty
Suddenly, Fletcher couldn’t lie—even if he wanted to. Thoughts that once stayed locked in his head came spilling out. In the courtroom, in the office, even in the elevator.
Sarcastic, blunt, painfully honest—he couldn’t stop himself.
Was this a breakdown? A brain tumor? A midlife crisis?
Or... was it exactly what he needed?
The Wish Behind It All
In the chaos, Fletcher discovered the cause:
Max’s innocent, mischievous little birthday wish.
Fletcher tried everything to reverse it—even lighting candles on a cake and begging Max to make another wish. But nothing worked.
He was trapped in a world where truth ruled over strategy—and where honesty could cost him everything.
What Is “Real Life”?
As Fletcher unraveled in court, he began to ask himself:
What kind of life had I been living?
The truth revealed a man who had abandoned love, family, and sincerity in favor of success and status.
The wish had forced him to confront what really mattered.
Before and After
Max’s wish became the dividing line in Fletcher’s life:
Before the truth. After the truth.
The man who once valued power above people was now desperate for a second chance—not just with his career, but with his son, and maybe even with himself.
A lie may build a career, but only the truth can rebuild a life.
Enjoy the film.
