That one word, underrated, describes this movie perfectly. The film itself is underrated because people don't realize that it actually has entertainment value for the WHOLE family, not just the kids. This is partly the fault of the highly flawed trailers,... Full review

Worse, the cast is all over the map.
Normally, Muniz has charm, but here he comes off as rather smug.
this family comedy isn't completely painful

Whether or not "Big Fat Liar" leads to silver-screen success for its stars and creators, we'll have to wait and see.
A subsequent mix-up finds Jason's paper, entitled "Big Fat Liar," in Wolf's hands, with Jason left empty-handed and in deep trouble.

Big Fat Liar is innocent fun, and during a time when comedies are based on gross-out gags or just plain stupidity, its a welcome surprise.
The events in the movie are implausible, but that didnt bother me, and it probably wont bother many of the kids either, because these are the kinds of things that happen in a kids imagination.

August 28, 2002 -- "Big Fat Liar," the surprisingly smart teen comedy that came out last year, is being released on DVD on September 24, 2002.
Levy also credits many other films for techniques used in "Big Fat Liar," including Armageddon-like colors and pans for a control room scene.

Big Fat Liar is a good, solid family film.
Jason has no choice but to go to Hollywood with his best friend Kaylee (Amanda Bynes) and get Wolf to admit the idea is based on Jason's lost essay.
