Jim Carrey and Tom Shadyac can't go wrong!

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2003)

Jim Carrey has got to be one of my favorite actors, I have yet to see him in a role that I didn't like. He's nothing less than hilarious and I don't care what anyone says, he's a fantastic actor. On top of that, Tom Shadyac is a superb director, making his third film with Jim Carrey (the previous two being: "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" and "Liar Liar"). The instant I heard they were working together again, I knew I'd love the movie. So opening day rolled around and I wasted no time in getting myself to the movie theater to enjoy the film. And of course, I was not let down, I laughed myself silly and had an all around great time.
The story is beyond far-fetched, but it's all in good fun and actually has a good "moral to the story" as they say. The film is mainly about doing what it right and being happy with yourself.
I'll admit though this is the first movie where I thought Jim Carrey was a little too nutty at times. Like the whole tantrum on the bed when Jennifer Aniston is telling him to get out of bed, and a few other cases. But the scenes where I was laughing so hard that the tears started flowing more than made up for those few "too nutty" scenes.
On top of the great story and the hilarious comedy, there is also a fair amount of special effects in the film, which are nothing less than great and work very well with the story. And of course, there is the lovely Jennifer Aniston, need I say more? She's looked better, but she did a fine job in the role and I enjoyed watching her performance. Morgan Freeman was another fine addition to the cast, doing a very nice job with his role.
What it boils down to is this. If you liked "Ace Ventura" or "Liar Liar", then you definitely ought to check this movie out. If you like Jim Carrey in general, see this movie! If you aren't a fan of Jim Carrey, I'm not sure what to tell you, I guess I'd say see it anyway...you never know, you might like it. Thanks for reading.
