Not impressed...

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 2004)

The movie was not that impressive. Jim Carrey's character was such a lowlife cad that he did not get any sympathy for his well deserved distress.
The only ones who may see some light at the end of this dark tunnel of a movie are those individuals who have Carrey's traits and are hoping for a second chance. The only individual I felt any emotion for was the husband of Jennifer Tilly who was royally screwed over although he did nothing wrong but love his wife and children. The sad part was the fact that no one felt any sympathy for him and in fact cheered his downfall. The overlying theme of the movie seemed to be that no one is reponsible for their actions. Carrey did all the dirt and came out smelling like a rose, getting everything he wanted. His ex-wife's boyfriend who cared about her got nothing. The loving husband got destroyed and lost his children. The cheating wife got everything she wanted and more. So in this movie the good got cheated, the bad got rewarded, and everyone else got ignored. Not a good movie.
