charming

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2003)

This movie is not a dramatic masterpiece by any standards, but it accomplishes its goal-- it makes people laugh. There are jokes for everyone, from nose-picking jokes for younger kids (not a recommended movie for that crowd due to language, however) to little inside jokes that only certain people will get. The people in the theater around me were gasping for air at some points. And yes, it does have a cute ending, storybook perfection, but it seems the only way to end it. I would definitely recommend this movie if you're in the mood for slapstick comedy (Steven Carell and Jim Carrey both are incredibly good physical comedians) and general all-around cuteness. It's worth seeing in theaters, if just to see Jim Carrey back in his element.
