More of the same, as Carrey tries to hold back but fails.

Rating: 4/10 (11 April 2004)

Interesting premise for a story, and it sounded like it could be fun, although the Jim Carrey starring did worry me, the appearance of Morgan Freeman made me rethink.
The problem is that this is Mr Carrey trying to hold back from doing his wild and wacky rubber face stuff. Unfortunately he doesn't, and this leads to some really annoying moments, where you wonder what is going on and why.
Like some of the catch phrases, the stupid faces and over emphasised movements, and the scene where the newsreader copies his facial movements, and it goes on, and on, and on.
There are a few snigger touching moments, but they are few and far between, and the setups and the eventual plot finish, are so Hollywood formula you want to weep.
Give it a miss. Go watch the Truman Show instead.
