Storyline
Fletcher Reede, a fast talking attorney, habitual liar, and divorced father is an incredibly successful lawyer who has built his career by lying. He has a habit of giving precedence to his job and always breaking promises to be with his favorite young son Max, but Fletcher lets Max down once too often, for missing his own son's birthday party. But until then at 8:15 Max has decided to make an honest man out of him as he wishes for one whole day his dad couldn't tell a lie. When the wish comes true all Fletcher can do is tell the truth and cannot tell one lie. Uh-oh for Fletcher! Written by Anthony Pereyra <hypersonic91@yahoo.com>

Trivia
When Judge Stevens first walks in the court room and the guard says: "Please stand up to receive honorable Judge Marshall Stevens", Fletcher mocks of the word "honorable". Since he was under the effect of the wish, he may know the judge is a corrupt one. See more »Goofs
When Fletcher gets his car towed and arrives at his wife's house in a taxi, he throws cash at the driver from the back seat. The sound does not match the throwing of the cash. See more »Quotes
