Bad Casting

Rating: 5/10 (23 August 2013)

Jim Carrey--old 90s actor and a cast of younger talent like Bradley Cooper, Johnny Galecki and Zooey Deshanel. How in the world are Bradley Cooper's character and Jim Carrey's character best friends when there is a very large age difference? The film features Jim Carrey's character, Karl, going to bars and clubs where everyone is far younger than him. He kisses a young woman, probably 30 years younger than him in a bar at one point and gets into a bar fight. The most disturbing part, which is most of the movie, is his relationship with Zooey Deschanel. Jim Carrey is an accomplished actor, a talented and funny guy. However, he should, and the directors should have faced reality with the casting of this film and understood that Carrey was far too old for this role. The movie could be very funny if a different age-appropriate actor replaced Jim Carrey.
