quite simply the best movie I have seen in years

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2004)

I was pretty shocked when I left the theater to see how many people coming out hated this film. Not to sound pompous, but it was really that they just didn't get it. I say this, not because I am guessing, but because all these people specifically said "I didn't get it." I think it is because Jim Carrey still suffers from some earlier movie choices. That being said, this movie is fabulous. It is so much more than a love story--it is both brilliantly witty and tragic at the same time, and the entire cast is phenomenal. It's one of those rare movies that you continue to think about after you leave for days (and not thoughts of "where did my $8.50 go"). I hated Adaptation, but I think Kaufman has more than made up for it with this film, which skyrocketed to my list of top movies.
