Jim Carrey was the only thing that saved this movie...

Rating: 6/10 (24 February 2007)

Overall, the movie was just okay. The plot was just okay. The actors were just okay. The setting was just okay. And what took place in the ending has been done over and over and over again.
While it was nice to see Jim Carrey broaden his acting skills to play a borderline (if even that) psychopath, the rest of the movie just dwindled, for me anyway. I found Virginia Madsen's character to be slightly annoying, and his son, although adorable, was almost an unnecessary character and did nothing to further improve the plot.
It was overly-predictable and somewhat unoriginal. But nice job to Carrey, it would be nice to see him take on some more roles like this. He was the only thing that really saved this movie. Had his character been played by another actor, I would have lowered my rating significantly. Worth seeing, but only at a matinée price.
