Everyone raves over it, but I think this is where he started going down.

Rating: 5/10 (17 March 2007)

This is one of those times when I must differ with other reviewers. I didn't like this one. I support Carrey's attempt to jump into another genre, and the work itself is awesome. Carrey's performance clearly rocks. But the whole premise was affronting. I, frankly, hated this movie. Carrey's performance makes it worth the hype, but the story itself was a cold, calculating, cashing-in of the talent, and I can not find anything enjoyable about that.
This work was clearly intended to make you think. It endears you to the main character (Carrey), introduces its premise (which was refreshingly new), and then lowers the boom. It was the boom I couldn't swallow. I found this work horribly disturbing, and just plain sad.
Frankly, in spite of the glowing reviews and excellent numbers this work received, I believe this is the pinpoint of the decline of Carrey's career. I hope he pulls out of it, or soon he'll just be another washed-up comedian.
It rates a 4.6/10 from...
