Wouldn't have been anything if it wasn't for Jim Carrey's amazing talent(s)...

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2004)

I have to say, this movie really would have been bad if it Jim Carrey hadn't been in it. Every single scene without him is hardly funny; Jeff Daniels if miles away from Jim talent-wise. Jim can make you laugh with a simple movement of his face, whereas Jeff hardly could make me laugh at all. The script does put the two in some pretty funny situations, but hadn't it been for Carrey, the movie would have been very bad. I especially thought the dream/fantasy sequences with Carrey very unbelievably funny; they really let him display his full talents, making extremely funny facial expressions and hilarious noises. This movie holds a few of the greatest moments with Carrey that's on film(in my not particularly humble opinion, at least), but apart from those few truly great scenes, the movie isn't all that funny; as mentioned earlier, especially the scenes with Daniels were usually barely funny at all. I would recommend any fan of Carrey to watch this, at least to watch the few very memorable, incredibly funny scenes in which he shows his potential. It has a lot of crude humor though, and a lot of it is downright disgusting, especially if you're not used to that sort of humor, but apart from that, it's just barely worth watching for any fan of Jim Carrey. 7/10
