I Love You Philip Morris

I saw a commercial for this claiming it was one of Jim Carrey's best movies. Being a Jim Carrey fan and hearing that claim, it was hard to not watch this despite the main plot of the movie. It certainly wasn't fun watching two men kiss for me, but there were some funny moments. It is Jim Carrey, after all. I've seen Carrey's co-star, Ewan McGregor, in a few things and that was another reason I decided to watch. Very few moments of his role remain in memory.

I really only have one thing to say about this film - unless you're a die hard Jim Carrey fan or you enjoy watching man-on-man kissing, you can live without seeing this. You're not missing any Jim Carrey you haven't seen elsewhere. Matter of fact, I now object to the claim I heard in the commercial - you can find better Jim Carrey elsewhere. If you want funny, go to Ace Ventura; Liar, Liar; or Yes Man. If you want drama, go to Eternal Sunshine, Truman Show, or Man on the Moon.

Oh, and I would also like to add that I liked that Hollywood left no possibility of impressing the viewer that either of these men were turned gay because of their time in prison. Hollywood is almost always terrible at portraying what prison is really like and this was one, itty-bitty step in the right direction.
