[Movie] Mentiroso Mentiroso (Review) [ESP-ENG] by edwardstobia

Hola amigos || Hello friends
Mentiroso, Mentiroso es para mí un clásico de Jim Carrey y es recordada por la mayoría como una comedia llena de gestos exagerados y situaciones absurdas pero sin embargo detrás de toda esas caras raras y actos bastantes cómico de un abogado que será incapaz de mentir durante 24 horas solo por el dulce y noble deseo de cumpleaños de su hijo. Lo que más me gusta de esta película y por lo que la comparto con ustedes es que detrás de todo, en ella se esconde una de las reflexiones más profundas y dolorosas sobre la paternidad. Mensaje que sin duda, deberíamos prestarle demasiada atención.
“Liar Liar” is, for me, a Jim Carrey classic, and it’s remembered by most as a comedy full of exaggerated gestures and absurd situations. Yet behind all those funny faces and the rather comical antics of a lawyer who is unable to lie for 24 hours all because of his son’s sweet and noble birthday wish lies something more. What I like most about this movie and why I’m sharing it with you is that beneath it all lies one of the deepest and most painful reflections on fatherhood. It’s a message that we should undoubtedly pay close attention to.


Sé que a veces nos cuesta cuestionarnos como padres, siempre creeremos que lo que estamos haciendo está bien, pero puede que buscando esa perfección podamos cometer errores tan ingenuos que posiblemente sean errores que no sean fácil olvidar. Como padre por supuesto que no me gusta estar ausente en casa, lejos de mi familia, de mi hogar y de una niña que se ha ganado mi corazón. Aun cuando no es mi hija de sangre, la amo, respeto y cuido como si fuera hecha por mí ja ja ja… Pero hay ocasiones en que solemos llegar cansados del trabajo, quizás malhumorado por la situación de trabajo y del día día. No les mentiré, no suelo jugar mucho con ella, pero si intento crear recuerdos juntos, de esos bonitos que de seguro hasta de grande recordará.
I know that sometimes it’s hard for us to question ourselves as parents we’ll always believe that what we’re doing is right but in our pursuit of perfection, we might make mistakes so naive that they may not be easy to forget. As a father, of course I don’t like being away from home, far from my family, my home, and a little girl who has won my heart. Even though she’s not my biological daughter, I love her, respect her, and care for her as if she were my own, ha ha ha… But there are times when we come home tired from work, maybe in a bad mood because of work or the day’s events. I won’t lie to you I don’t usually play with her much, but I do try to create memories together those beautiful ones that she’ll surely remember even when she’s grown up.


En el caso de nuestro personaje principal en esta reseña, Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey) no es un mal hombre, pero es un padre ausente. Su error no nace por golpes o gritos a su hijo, sino que tenía una falsa idea de responsabilidad pues querer darle lo mejor a su hijo Max significaba priorizar su trabajo y la ausencia en casa. Dejando atrás, esa parte paternal de crear junto a Max recuerdos, momentos, sueños. En ese afán por construir un imperio importante Fletcher olvidó lo único que su hijo realmente le importaba, su presencia y crear recuerdos compartidos.
As for the main character in this review, Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey), he isn’t a bad man, but he is an absent father. His mistake didn’t stem from hitting or yelling at his son; rather, he had a misguided idea of responsibility, believing that wanting to give his son Max the best meant prioritizing his work and being away from home. He neglected that paternal role of creating memories, moments, and dreams together with Max. In his eagerness to build a major empire, Fletcher forgot the one thing that truly mattered to his son: his presence and the creation of shared memories.

Comparto hoy esta película pues logré verla ayer nuevamente y hoy podría decir que la película me provoca más que una sonrisa en mí, me provoca un verdadero nudo en la garganta llevándome rápidamente al llanto ja ja ja… ¡Recuerden que los hombres también lloran! No me identifico con las mentiras de Fletcher, por supuesto que no, pero sí con el dolor de la distancia. Además de Lunita, tengo un hijo de 17 años que tuvo que emigrar con su mamá a los 6 años dejando un espacio totalmente vacío. Llevo unos 11 años sintiendo a mi hijo a distancia, por una video llamada, por un mensaje de whatsapp, es un vacío que me ha destrozado el corazón por dentro y ver a Max luchar con tanta inocencia por recuperar a su padre, me recuerda que no hay anhelo más grande en mi vida que el de estar cerca de mi hijo. Por supuesto que también compartir tardes simples, reírnos de cualquier tontería, crear esos recuerdos juntos y vivir plenamente ese amor único entre padre e hijo.
I’m sharing this movie today because I managed to watch it again yesterday, and today I can say that it does more than just make me smile it gives me a real lump in my throat and quickly brings me to tears, ha ha ha… Remember, men cry too! I don’t identify with Fletcher’s lies of course not but I do identify with the pain of distance. Besides Lunita, I have a 17-year-old son who had to move abroad with his mom when he was 6, leaving a completely empty space behind. For about 11 years now, I’ve been feeling my son’s presence from afar through video calls, through WhatsApp messages and it’s a void that has shattered my heart from the inside. Seeing Max struggle so innocently to get his father back reminds me that there’s no greater longing in my life than to be close to my son. Of course, I also long to share simple afternoons with him, laugh at silly things, create those memories together, and fully experience that unique love between father and son.

Las esperanzas es lo último que se pierde, quizás ese encuentro está cerca. Otro de los mensajes que nos deja Mentiroso, Mentiroso. Es que el tiempo no perdona, y que la infancia de nuestros hijos no espera a que tengamos la agenda libre. Así que señores, no olvidemos compartir con nuestros hijos, de verlos crecer y convertirse en lo que siempre queremos, un ser extraordinario.
Hope is the last thing we lose perhaps that moment is just around the corner. Another message that Mentiroso, Mentiroso leaves us with is that time waits for no one, and our children’s childhood won’t wait until our schedules are free. So, everyone, let’s not forget to spend time with our children, to watch them grow and become what we’ve always wanted them to be: extraordinary people.


Imagino que muchos de ustedes ya la han visto así que bueno, igual que siempre, esta es solo mi opinión. Los invito a compartir la de ustedes.
I imagine many of you have already seen it, so, well, as always, this is just my opinion. I invite you to share yours.

Esta también es de mis películas favoritas de Jim Carrey, una demostración excelente del talento que tiene este comediante para hacernos reír con sus interpretaciones y actuaciones sobreexageradas. Una grandiosa película también por su historia y el gran mensaje que nos deja al final sobre valorar estar con tu familia y tus seres queridos y no cambiar eso por nada del mundo.
Buena reseña, como siempre.
Asi es mi amigo. Es una buena pelicula con un excelente mensaje familiar. No soy muy amante al actor pero esta pelicula me gusta mucho. Ah y al de los pinguinos ja ja ja
No doubt this was a great Jim Carrey movie with an excellent story, and Jim Carrey's unique style made it even more interesting. I still remember that court scene 🙂
It is said what you said about your son, I hope you'd meet with him face to face soon.
If this movie is a classic, with its touch of comedy, and as you say, something for parents to reflect on—these days, many parents are far from their children, some because of their own irresponsibility, and others, as in your case, because life or fate forced them to be apart while they sought a better future— the important thing is that you stay in touch, even if it’s from a distance—that means a lot to your son. I hope you’ll be able to reunite with him soon. Best regards.
The first time I saw it, I watched it with a comedic eye, and yesterday when I watched it again, I was in stitches, ha ha... May God hear your words and make them come true. I want to see you even though we always talk; I want to have you closer to me. Thanks for stopping by and for your kind words
I actually happened to be talking about this movie a few days ago—what a coincidence 😂. I was talking about Carrey’s exaggerated gestures; I still find myself laughing at his antics, but I also find myself reflecting on the theme presented here.
Men cry too, no doubt about it 😂. I hope you’ll be able to reunite with your son someday.
We're connected, ha ha ha...
Lol i Remember this comedy I've watched it when I was a teen now it's absolutely time for a rewatch in the past it makes me laugh a lot.
It's always nice to watch this kind of movie again, especially after so much time has passed it lets us see it from a different perspective. Best wishes, my friend, and I hope you enjoy it if you watch it again
I keep watching this movie; it always makes me laugh so much. I enjoyed remembering it today. Thank you.
Beautiful reflection, my friend. Memories with our children are irreplaceable; seeing them become extraordinary beings will be a beautiful thing to witness. I understand your feelings too, I also have a son who grew up far from me and it hurts a little, it just makes me happy to know that he is well and much better off than here. Saludos y bendiciones
I first watched Jim Carrey in The Mask and ever since, I've always enjoyed his films. I haven't watched this one yet but the premise seems interesting and thoughtful. I'm sure there are plenty of funny moments in this movie. I like that it encourages parents to pay attention to their children and wards. It's an important lesson viewers can take away from the story. This movie sounds like one I would enjoy watching. Good review!

This is surely one of the best movies from Jim Carrey's golden era.
