The Truth is not in Order

Rating: 6/10 (23 February 2013)

This movie is very much and example of a Jim Carrey film where Carrey runs rough shod over the script and puts on a one man comedy show. The results of this is very funny. The thing is it is one of many films that establishes Carey as a sort of Jerry Lewis for this generation. His manic comedy is very much like Lewis was in his prime.
Carrey has a lot of energy here as a Lawyer who has to tell the truth for 24 hours due to his sons wish. There is some Lewis type schmaltz in his sympathy for the kiddies. In a way Carrey came along at the right time because his manic humor can include adult themes more in the 1990's where Jerry Lewis was more limited by censors what he could do.
This gives Carrey's Comedy more bite than Lewis could have in his movies. For example he can tell a woman she has big... where Lewis would just be able to mug a va va voom in his movies.
Carrey is very funny when he does his stuff. That is the main reason to
