5.0 out of 5 stars Big Fat Liar Review, May 6, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Big Fat Liar (Paperback)

Big Fat Liar is a movie that teaches values. The theme of the movie is, "Don't lie because it can get you into trouble!" This book is believable because the main chacters are just like normal kids. They have this talent that they can change their voices like anyone! Well most people can do that but nto everyone. Their names are Jason and Kaylee. The setting of this story takes place in a small town in California and Los Angeles. I think the plot of this story was interesting because it was funny. Big Fat Liar held my interest. The actors did a good job of making their characters seem believable. I highly recommend this book!!! I liked the book better than the movie because it describes what they are thinking better.
