Big Fat Liar (2002)
If you bother to see a movie with this title, you deserve what you get. Kiddie-matinee fodder isn't particularly bad in any specific way; rather, it's just rote and uninspired throughout. It's very TV-calibre, actually -- no big surprise that most of the behind-the-camera talent is from the small screen (as well as its two teen stars). Paul Giamatti, God bless his soul, does all he can with his role and actually manages to wring a few chuckles out of the meager material.
Grade: C
