i love this movie . yes and the main character lie and but that why it call big fat liar . even though this kid run away to hollywood and it doesn not give kid the idea that they can . besides and he doesn not just do it for fun or to get away from anything and he do it to regain trust . i do not think it be just one big ad for universal studio and because i like how it give an inside view of what it like for kid who do not know how cool movie making be . it have good music and fun character . this family or comedy be totally fun for kid and parent alike . it have humour and excitement and and real life difficulty like lie . in the end and big fat liar send out a moral represent do not expect lie to be easy .
