One of the few movies that I would've walked out on.

Rating: 3/10 (11 April 2004)

I am amazed at the praise being put upon this movie not only here on this web site but reviews in the newspapers. Jim Carrey does a decent performance allowing us to see a serious and dark side to him. Some of the special effects were pretty cool. Overall, I got bored with the movie and that was when I wasn't irritated by the timeline jumping back and forth, the hard to follow sequence of events and a general lack of interest in the characters. The biggest question might be why in the world did Carrey and Winslet's characters get involved in the first place. There wasn't enough chemistry between them nor enough background to make us care about them.
