Disappointing

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2004)

I'm a Jim Carrey fan, so this movie was a huge let down. He did his best (as always) but there's just no substence to the film. Mildly amusing for the first 20 minutes and then one l-o-n-g yawn, heavily laden with sickly-sweet moralising. The only thing that caught my attention was a comparison I found myself making, throughout, between Jennifer Aniston's atrocious performance and that of the much prettier and vastly more talented Maura Tierney in an earlier Carrey movie, Liar Liar. I'd love to say that Aniston spoils the movie, but her rotten acting was just one small, if expected, minus. All in all, a brilliant concept executed VERY badly. I'm glad to see that most other reviewers didn'y like this movie either. I'd love to see Jim Carrey & Maura Tierney work together in future as they had real chemistry. As for MS Aniston, I hope she falls into a huge vat of $1000 bills and is never heard from again.
