Well, that hasn't aged very well.

Mid 80s Eddie Murphy vehicle, with Eddie playing the part of an investigator who specialises in finding lost children and who is hired to find the mystical 'Golden Child', who has been kidnapped from a remote Tibetan monastery and who is supposed to save mankind from themselves.

What follows is a strange blend of (mild) horror, oriental mysticism and crime movie as Murphy is in the case.

Definitely an 80s movie in soundtrack, attitude and fashion.

Liar Liar pants on fire ...

Mid 90s Jim Carrey vehicle, in which he plays a sleazy lawyer who is forced to tell the truth for 24 hours after his son makes a birthday wish for the same, which magically becomes true.

Cue physical slapstick comedy and his own brand of gurning as he tries to fight a divorce case, knowing he is on the 'wrong side' (as it were) over who gets custody of the children.

That, and a saccharine sweet finale.
