Big Fat Liar

Jason Shepherd is a 14-year-old chronic liar who constantly deceives his way out of trouble. He tries to avoid doing his creative writing essay by making up a lie, but eventually gets caught by his English teacher, Ms. Phyllis Caldwell, who alerts his parents. He is given three hours to submit his essay; otherwise, he will fail English and go to summer school. Jason writes a story titled Big Fat Liar, based on the lies he has told throughout his life. On his way to turn it in, he is struck by the limousine of movie producer Marty Wolf, the head of Marty Wolf Pictures, who is in town filming his latest film, the fictional united action comedy Whittaker and Fowl. He agrees to gives Jason a ride to school. Along the way, Marty reveals that he also tells lies and that, "The truth is overrated." In a rush, Jason accidentally forgets his essay in the limo upon arriving. Marty initially tries to return it, but is inspired by the story when he reads it and decides to keep it for himself.
