Does it deliver? I'd like to give a resounding: just about.

Rating: 7/10 (23 June 2019)

Amiable high concept comedy that is most likeable when Carey is just doing his thing after bizarre thing and the unexpected consequences thereof.
He's as masterful as ever at juggling the hermetic everyman and the man cursed to take every opportunity he's given.
The movie is less charming when its female lead shows up and we're supposed to think she's cool. Then it becomes an obnoxious and heavy handed message about living life or something.
I never read the book but I over all didn't hate this.
