Big Fat Liar
- Rating:
- Director:
- Starring: Amanda Bynes
- Details: US / 91 mins (PG).
While it's aimed at the kids, this story of a young boy taking revenge on a movie producer (who stole his school assignment to turn it into a film) is engaging for adults too. It helps that the kid in question is Malcolm in the Middle's Muniz; his bright 'n' breezy approach gives a straightforward romp some extra zest.
