劇情簡介
傑森·謝潑德(弗蘭奇·莫尼茲飾)是個14歲的中學生,他聰明伶俐,學習勤奮。一天傑森突然發現自己的課堂作業居然被好萊塢製片人馬提·沃爾夫盜用並根據它拍成了一部賣座大片《超級大騙子》,於是傑森和好朋友凱麗來到洛杉磯準備找馬提理論一番,為自己討個說法。
身為好萊塢最有權利的製片人之一,馬提當然不是那么容易就被擺平的,通過一系列歡鬧的惡作劇和計謀,傑森終於讓這位王牌監製向自己俯首認錯,也贏得了父親久違的信任。誰會害怕那個大灰狼?絕對不是賈森-謝潑德(Jason Shepherd,弗蘭基-穆尼茲飾,Frankie Muniz),但他必須證明好萊塢的偽君子----製片人馬蒂-沃爾夫(Marty Wolf,保羅-賈馬蒂飾,Paul Giamatti)偷走了他的論文,並拍攝成了引起巨大轟動的影片《大騙子》。 ;在與他最要好的朋友凱利(Kaylee,阿曼達-比內斯飾,Amanda Bynes)一起前往洛杉磯的途中,賈森確實試圖打入娛樂圈中。通過一系列歡鬧的惡作劇和計謀,賈森終於讓好萊塢最有權勢的製片人之一對他俯首稱臣。

影片評價
Two friends are about to cut one Hollywood big shot down to size。美版《大謊言家》,故事情節荒誕曲折。 一名聰明機靈的 14歲的中學生,但偏偏謊話連篇,由於一次謊言穿幫,不得不重新將老師布置的英文寫作在6個小時內完成。然而在奇思妙想之後,傑森·謝潑德發現自己的課堂作業在上學的路上丟了。更是離奇的,那片頗具幻想色彩的作文居然被碰巧車載傑森的好萊塢製片人馬提·沃爾夫盜用,並根據它拍成了一部賣座大片《BIG FAT LIAR》,傑森在去欣賞這一巨作的時候,發現這部片子竟然和自己的作文一摸一樣。回到家中他告訴他的父母這一事實,然而父母因為他以往的惡作劇,都已經不再信任他。苦惱的傑森,異想天開的想找到馬提證明自己這次並沒有說謊,以換回父母重新對自己的信任。
於是趁著暑假英語補習俱樂部的空擋,傑森和好朋友凱麗來到洛杉磯好萊塢片場尋找馬提。身為好萊塢最有權利的製片人之一,惡名在外的馬提當然不是善主,傑森的作文給了他足夠的靈感和榮譽,一旦被世人知道這部片子並不是自己所創作,功名利祿便全完了。於是,馬提惡意的將作文燒掉並將傑森趕走。這惹惱了傑森,聰明的傑森剛開始還頗具孩子的信任,認為惡作劇後馬提就會妥協退讓,可馬提為人不善,根本沒有一星半點的澄清事實的意思。傑森大大失望幾乎要放棄整個計畫。就在這個時候,經常受馬提壓抑的片場工作人員,紛紛義舉,傑森帶領大家經過一連串精彩的鬥智加上上帝的保佑,終於讓這位猖狂的惡人、謊言家,在近乎發狂的自信下,喊出他剽竊了傑森的作文。而此時,六個機位都正對著他們的表演做實況轉播,天下人都知道了……最後,傑森當然贏得了父母的信任。結局不可避免地再次出現歐式的感人說教。“謊話不可取”。
片中惡整馬提的三個計畫方案,設計的非常經典。在最後一場追逐中,利用片場的不同戲劇空間,讓人過了眼癮。其中還巧妙的利用了一個西部牛仔對峙的意境。甚是搞笑。唯一美中不足的是對傑森的作文拍攝的經典環節沒有選好。對說明該片到底為什麼會如此之火,不具說服力。
