Big Fat Liar

Plot Summary

Jason Shepherd is a 14-year-old compulsive liar living in the town of Greenbury, Michigan, who tries to lie his way out of failing to write a creative writing assignment. He gets caught by his English teacher, Ms. Caldwell, and is given three hours to submit his essay in order to avoid repeating English in summer school. Remembering an earlier comment from his father about making up stories being his “God-given talent”, he writes a story titled “Big Fat Liar”, drawing inspiration from his lying.

While riding his sister’s old bike to turn in the essay, Jason is accidentally struck by a limousine belonging to Marty Wolf, an arrogant and unscrupulous Hollywood producer, whom Jason blackmails into giving him a ride. Marty, a pathological liar, is in town shooting his next film Whitaker and Fowl. In a rush, Jason accidentally leaves his essay in the limo when it falls out of his backpack. Inspired, Marty keeps the story for himself. Realizing his essay is missing, Jason tries to explain what happened but gets sent to summer school after his parents and Ms. Caldwell believe he is lying again, unaware that Jason did his essay and is telling the truth.

During the summer, Jason and his girlfriend Kaylee go to the movies together where a teaser trailer for “Big Fat Liar” is shown. After failing to convince Jason’s parents of the truth, they fly to Los Angeles while their parents are out of town for the weekend and sneak into Marty’s studio office. They demand that Marty confess to Jason’s parents, but he refuses, purposefully burns Jason’s essay, and calls security to remove them. Angered, the teens plot to inconvenience Marty until he confesses. Marty’s former limo driver and struggling actor Frank Jackson agrees to help. Jason and Kaylee sabotage Marty through pranks such as dyeing his skin blue via his swimming pool.
