Stays with you for years - cinematic milestone

Rating: Null/10 (16 February 2003)

I saw this movie when it was shown in the theatres. It stuck and after having watched it recently I labelled it classic. Fine performances from Carrey, who shows us that he can do drama too (serious romantic lead), and from Harris (didn't even recognize him! Damn that man is good). This is one movie that makes you think. The take on the film world, the triple-layered jokes, the fun poked at a very serious matter: the lack of respect for privacy that stars generally entertain trading off against financial opportunity... it certainly is a filmmaker's film, and it is accessible enough for us general filmgoers. Bonus: it is funny.
Four stars from me.
