A comedic whirlwind returns. This summer, over two decades after the original Liar Liar captivated audiences and solidified Jim Carrey’s status as a comedy legend, the beloved character Fletcher Reede makes a triumphant comeback in Liar Liar Jim Carrey 2: The Truth Hurts.
Reprising his iconic role, Carrey is joined by Emmy winner Maya Rudolph and rising star Jacob Tremblay in this uproarious sequel that explores the consequences of honesty in a world where truth is often stranger than fiction. Directed by the talented Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters), the film promises to blend sharp wit with heartfelt moments, delivering a fresh take on the classic premise.
Set 25 years after the events of the first film, Fletcher Reede is now a successful family law attorney, having finally learned to balance his career with his responsibilities as a father. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he accidentally stumbles upon a magical truth-telling device that forces him to speak only the truth for 24 hours. As Fletcher navigates the chaos that ensues, he must confront the lies he’s told, the relationships he’s neglected, and the impact of his newfound honesty on his family and career.
Maya Rudolph stars as Lisa, Fletcher’s supportive yet exasperated ex-wife, who finds herself caught in the crossfire of his truth-telling escapades. Tremblay plays Max, Fletcher’s precocious teenage son, who is both inspired and horrified by his father’s antics. As Fletcher’s unfiltered honesty leads to a series of hilarious misunderstandings and awkward situations, he must ultimately learn that sometimes, the truth can hurt more than a well-placed lie.
The film features a stellar supporting cast, including Ken Jeong as a quirky therapist who tries to help Fletcher navigate his truth-telling dilemma, and Tiffany Haddish as a no-nonsense judge who becomes increasingly frustrated with Fletcher’s antics in the courtroom.
With a script that balances laugh-out-loud moments with poignant reflections on family and integrity, Liar Liar Jim Carrey 2: The Truth Hurts is produced by Oscar® winner Brian Grazer and directed by Feig, who brings his signature comedic style to the beloved franchise.
Prepare for a rollercoaster of laughter and heartfelt moments when Liar Liar Jim Carrey 2: The Truth Hurts hits theaters this July, reminding us all that while honesty is the best policy, sometimes it’s best to keep a few secrets.
