Bigger Fatter Liar

source: Bigger Fatter Liar

..on whoever gave the OK on this movie. What was going through the writers, directors, producers minds? Let's make a sub par version of the original. With the EXACT same story line. This is a horrible attempt at a sequel. At least get some new ideas. They even die "Wolf's" skin and mess with his car. If you've seen the first don't bother with this one. A disappointment would be an understatement.

I'm sorry if I'm being too harsh, but how did a 2002 movie make more sense than the 2017 remake? I mean, the 2017 bigger fatter liar was so bad that all I did was complain when seeing it. The acting was very poor, the slight change in story made it even worse. With all the technology provided, it still one of the worse remakes I've ever seen.

This movie is a trainwreck, it's the same thing as Big Fat Liar. They both get hit by a car, get their idea stolen, have the same characters, have the same antics and pranks they did on the first movie. The ending is the same to. They were so greedy with this movie. DO NOT WATCH!!!!!!!!!!

This one is bad. Real Bad. If you liked the original, this so-called sequel will make the original movie seem fantastic, largely because the original was actually quite good. The film is about a typical compulsively-lying teenager named Kevin Shepard (Garcia) who creates the idea for a video game called 'Big Fat Liar' as part of a school assignment. In a chance encounter, entertainment executive Larry Wolf's (Bostwick) limo hits Shepard on his bike. Wolf steals the paper, and then attempts to use Shepard's stolen idea to create a video game which he thinks will please his boss and earn him a promotion to company president. As a result, Wolf and his best friend Becca (Ferland) embark on an adventure in an effort to force Wolf to admit his lie and give Shepard the credit he deserves. I will start with the positives, although there weren't many positive things to say about this film. There were a couple of chuckle-worthy moments and at times the actors did decent for what they had to work with. At face value, Bostwick was by no means bad at all in his role, and neither were the other main characters. When compared to the originals, however, this is a different story. On the negative side, this movie is loaded to the brim. The script is terrible. The cinematography barely nicks the bottom of average. The result was a very cheap feel, especially when compared to the original 'Big Fat Liar.' That leads me to perhaps the most egregious sin of this movie: other than some minor changes and a recast, it is merely a poorly regurgitated, or perhaps you could say thrown-up, version of the original. Part of the reason that the original was so good was because of Paul Giamatti's outstanding portrayal of Marty Wolf. Despite being a Hollywood powerhouse and a very authoritative figure in cinema, Marty Wolf has a weak, childish, and downright weird side to him that is truly hilarious to watch. They were clearly aiming to create the same character in this film, but fell short. While Bostwick did decent with what he had, he clearly wasn't meant for this role. When they tried to show the "weird" side of Larry Wolf, it didn't work. It simply felt forced. The Wolfs (both Marty and Larry) are what both of these movies are truly about. They are the cornerstone characters. Paul Giamatti is a tough, if not nearly impossible act to follow. And because of the weakness of Bostwick's character in the sequel, it really leaves the awful remainder of the movie hanging by a mere thread of terribleness. In summary, this movie is really bad. When you consider that the moral of this film is the importance of telling the truth, it is quite ironic that this movie being branded as a "sequel" is a big fat lie itself. If you haven't seen either film, don't bother watching 'Bigger Fatter Liar.' However, if you have seen the original, I would actually recommend that you watch this one- it will show you how the original 'Big Fat Liar' was actually a surprisingly good film.

I won't go too deep, as the movie itself is as shallow as a puddle. All you need to know is that this "sequel" is nothing more than reused garbage. Even pieces of the original script were ripped for this, while they tried to pass it off as a new film. It's garbage, plain and simple. I only sat through it for Jodelle Ferland, but even talent can't make up for crap directing and "writing".

This Complete excuse for a sequel/reboot of a classic movie. the beginning of the movie is pretty much a cheap ripoff of the original. the acting is played out like a mellow dramatic old time film with out good morals. i give a grade A by the attempt of mimicking Amanda Bynes and Frankie Muniz performance, consider it a Saturday Night Live skit of the original. Luckily this was a direct to video release otherwise this film could have ruined their careers as actors

An adaptation of the original that was less effective and far less enjoyable.

It's hard to follow Paul Giamatti. He's a comedic genius. In the first BFL movie, he had us all rolling on the floor laughing. The guy who plays the BFL in this movie tries but doesn't come close to even being funny. He's about as funny as a sore throat. One highlight, and this makes it worth it to see the movie, is Jodelle Ferland who is one of the most beautiful young women on the planet yet it doesn't seem that she knows it thereby making her seem sweet and vulnerable. She plays the Amanda Bynes character. Amanda was an exciting actress, but Jodell is just fantastic to watch.

Just the worst film I've ever seen. We watched the first one and loved it, so we decided to watch this one the next day. What a BIG mistake. Word for word, concept for concept, exactly the same as the first one, even down to the guy being called 'Wolf' and his secretary saving the day in the end. Except with fewer jokes. Seriously, just don't. This is an hour and a half of your life you will NEVER get back. Literally go and have a nap instead or something. Disgraceful.
