* Greta was being sarcastic with her "those have been going around" quip, which was a call-back to Fletcher asking what diseases are going around to use as an excuse not to have to take his mother's calls. She even says right after that she doesn't believe him because it's absurd.

* This also explains why Miranda was so quick to believe that Fletcher was under a curse when she hadn't even observed Fletcher's behavior post-curse (after his initial embarrassing confession, that is). She's probably had to deal with her subordinates being cursed before, or even been the subject of such a curse, herself.

Added DiffLines:


[[WMG: The curse was actually forever, not 24-hours]]
Although Max wished that his dad would be unable to tell a lie for 24 hours, the wish was actually permanent. Notice how after the 24 hours are over, we never see Fletcher lie again. By then Fletcher is comfortable with telling the truth. Fletcher doesn't even tell any lies as a test to be sure that he's capable of lying again.

[[WMG: Max lied when he said he wished for rollerblades]]
He really did wish for his parents to get back together, he just didn't want to tell them that. It would be very ironically funny.

My fan theory (to this lie and to the whole film actually): No magic spells, Fletcher was unconsciously unable to lie (with that one exception) due to his guilty conscience catching up with him. When his son told him about the wish, it just solidified the psychological effect, and gave him a point in time which his conscience could let him off. This adds a plausibility to the story that a magic spell would not allow for.

to:

* This may be why a year later Fletcher is celebrating his son's birthday and not in federal prison for the airport debacle. Maybe he was able to get witnesses (Greta, Audrey, Max) to verify the curse by saying how out of character he was. The entire court transcript from the movie could have even been entered as evidence. With proof that he was under the effect of a curse maybe he just got counseling as no one was hurt in the incident and curses are an "act of God".
