Jim Carrey was brilliant in the 1990s. From his breakthrough film, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, to The Mask and Dumb and Dumber, Carrey used skillful physical comedy, malleable face, and absurd expressions to establish himself as a consistently funny presence.
In 1997, he starred in the family-friendly comedy Liar Liar, in which he played a lawyer who was miraculously and unexpectedly compelled always to tell the truth.
