Good up until the credits.

Rating: 6/10 (3 September 2004)

The first ten minutes of this film are it's strongest. There is a gentle unease all the way through to the opening credits and Jim Carrey does well to convey this mood in his character. The feeling of falling head over heels in love, is wonderfully juxtaposed with the thought that things are not quite as they may appear.
After that, however, the movie goes mostly downhill, degenerating to a "we're in love, no we're not, yes we are, oh I don't know" situation. A lot of this has to do with the movie playing it's hand too soon and thereby losing much of the real mystery that it had gained in the beginning. Seemingly endless, chaotic dream sequences do not really do much to explore the relationship between the two main characters in depth.
Still, better than most movies.
