What's the fuss about?

Rating: 6/10 (20 June 1999)

Jim Carrey's first attempt at drama has rewarded him with the Golden Globe and other awards but why is this? The film is boring and not really that interesting at all. I gave it a real chance though and tried not to be judgemental because I wanted to like it. But it did fall short of being a good, inventive movie. I thought Jim Carrey was good and so was Ed Harris and Laura Linney who was really good in her role. Despite the good acting, however, the film didn't quite reach my expectations and considerably fell short of being as excellent as everyone has been saying.
