Spending Your Time On Earth

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2006)

This is the first time I have liked anything Jim Carrey has done - what a pleasure to see him play a quiet, understated role; I fell a bit in love with that character! So typical for Kaufman, the story is quirky, highly original and funny. The scenes of the Stan and Mary, the Carrey and the Winslet characters cavorting and playing together are so sweet and funny and human, it gave me a bit of a pang, me who has been alone for so long. As painful as human interaction can be, as much as you might want to forget certain screw-ups that you have made in your life, much there is sweet and should be cherished forever (my personal subtext that I inject into the movie). Go - you will not regret it.
