Carrey touches home with the family element!

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 1998)

Once again, Jim Carrey steps up to the plate and delivers another home run. Not only was this a hysterical comedy, but it also had a serious family element to it that was crucial for Carrey's advancement into his role in "The Truman Show". This was an excellent stepping stone into the world of serious film. This movie was a more acceptable "serious role" because he still had his moments to spaz out and make the audience laugh. I especially loved seeing the outtakes before the credits. Just watching them shows Carrey's creativity and spontaneity, which is that extra "oompf" that makes him stand out.
