Lügen haben kurze Beine (2002)

Lügen haben kurze Beine: Directed by Shawn Levy. With Frankie Muniz, Paul Giamatti, Amanda Bynes, Amanda Detmer. Fourteen-year-old Jason Shepherd has a reputation for stretching the truth. So, when big-time Hollywood producer Marty Wolf steals his class paper and turns it into a smash hit movie, no one believes Jason’s latest tall tale.

“Broad comedy, minimized violence, recognizable stars – drop the kids off at the matinee and youu0026#39;re in good shape.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you go along with them, you can play spot the movie connection. Half the movie is set at Universal Studios Los Angeles. Aside from the obvious (character walking past the Norman Bates House, etc.), the producers left dozens of props from other movies lying around. (I already submitted the cars from u0026quot;Back to the Futureu0026quot; and u0026quot;How the Grinch Stole Christmasu0026quot;.) Itu0026#39;s almost like the movie is one big plug for the Universal Studios tour.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSpeaking of plugs: Note the obvious ones for Coca-Cola and the E.T. re-release.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eParental Guidance note: Please be sure to explain to your kids that a) Hollywood is not a nice place to run away to, and b) they shouldnu0026#39;t expect to get hugs and encouragement after they run away.”
