We will also include where these movies are currently available for streaming. Please feel free to share these with your friends.

Liar Liar (1997) Fun Facts

• When Fletcher beats himself up in the restroom, no sound effects were used; those are really the sounds of Jim Carrey's head slamming into the urinal, floor, and walls.

• The script was turned down nine times before producer Brian Grazer bought it. He only heard two sentences about the movie before he bought the idea.

• Steve Martin turned down the lead role in this film due to scheduling conflicts with another film titled Sgt. Bilko (1996). Martin even previously turned down another lead role that Jim Carrey would take, which is Lloyd Christmas in Dumb and Dumber (1994).
