not so hot

Rating: 4/10 (28 March 2004)

This movie is listed as a comedy, but there's little humor in it. It can't be a love story, as the two lead characters don't have any chemistry. Is it a science-fiction/fantasy movie? Kind of, but the plot is thin. I KNOW !!! It's a JIM CARREY movie !! That must explain why most people give it a 10 rating. Granted, he is good in the movie, but I felt I was watching two other (better) movies at the same time: What Things May Come (Robin Williams) and Total Recall (the Governator). There were some good technical scenes, but overall the movie was depressing and somewhat dull. Was the movie done on a shoestring budger? It seemed they shot it within a three-month period, as most of the scenes were set in winter.
