Rating: Summary: Carrey's Best Performance Yet Review: This is by far Jim Carrey's best performance of his career. Ok so the humor is rather low brow, but the performance of Jim makes it hilarious. Renne is not a strong point, she never is in any movie, but Jim and the rest of the cast make up for her. The three sons, while quite vulgar, are all humourus. As for the features on the DVD, there are some pretty neat ones. You can see a lot of making of the movie vignettes and all of the edited out scenes. I also like the branch option, which allows you to watch the movie with the cut out scenes edited back in. There are also a few easter eggs available, nothing special but enough to make the disc a fun one to play around with. It took me over an hour to go through all the special features, and while some of them are fairly useless others are great. In the end I say this is a must see not only for Jim Carrey fans but for anyone who loves a good laugh. Check this out.
Rating: Summary: Wrong, Wrong, Wrong! Review: This is incredibly insulting to those who are schizophrenic, and those who are knowledgable enough about psychology to know that the facts in this movie are incredibly bogus. First of all, Mr. Whats-his-name (Carrey) does NOT have schizophrenia. He has a split personality which isn't even close to being the same thing. It's movies like this that promote ignorance. However, I understand this is a brainless comedy, and really doesn't care what facts it gets right (it's Jim Carrey), however, I would expect a little sensitivity, and a whole lot less carelessness. It's not as if people don't care, and aren't bothered by ignorance in such ridiculous comedies. Everyone focuses in on the racism. Nobody bothers to question the accuracy of the portayal of mental illness. What a shame. The title is actually kind of clever. It's wasted on trash.
Rating: Summary: One of my favorites! Review: This movie is total braincandy, very silly, but HILARIOUS!!! One of Jim Carrey's funniest performances ever! The movie is definately not of the believable sort, but it is SO funny!!!! I own it and would never sell it...it's one movie that NEVER fails to make me laugh til I cry!
Rating: Summary: Fast and Funny Review: Rubber faced, Jim Carrey is at it again doing what he does best. The man is the master of physical comedy, another Jerry Lewis. Watching his inner characters battle it out is side splitting comedy. Just watch his facial expressions which he changes as effortlessly as his voice. Mask is still his best work but this rates a close second. The movie is funniest when Carrey is working his personalities. The film is mostly sight-gags, and some of the jokes fall flat, but for the most part the movie is very funny. The supporting characters are mostly invisible, except for Charlie's three sons. They are so funny, they should make a movie with just them. The way they argue scientific principles using profanity is simply hilarious.
Rating: Summary: Soooo funny. Review: I just love this movie. Besides the fact that it's so ironic, it's got a lot of silly humor that is just classic Jim Carrey. He's a genius, and proves it in this movie. It's got some parts that shouldn't be seen by children, but all in all, it's a fun movie that holds your interest.
Rating: Summary: Less than one star Review: If i could give this movie less than one star i would. This movie, which starts off a comedy, loses direction early on and wanders about and eventually evolves into an action shoot-em-up gangster film. It is not funny, not entertaining, and not even remotely interesting. The gags are sexist and racist and the movie seems to rely on profanity to try to get its chuckles, but falls flat on all counts. If your looking for a comedy/Jim Carrey movie, look elswhere. This one is a dog.
Rating: Summary: Vulgar does not equal funny Review: Well, I will admit that I am a big Jim Carrey fan. I will also admit that this movie was not very good. There are some funny parts that are quite vulgar, but overall the movie is a complete waste of time. Jim Carrey tries to find humor in being obscene (yes, obscene even for him), but many of the sick jokes fall flat. There is almost no plot at all (not that I really expected any). This movie could have been about 15 minutes, not 90. For some reason people often find profanity funny; I think that this is often an overseen mistake with many comedy script writers. Not funny. Don't bother with this one. ...
Rating: Summary: Good movie Review: There are some extremely funny parts to the movie. Enjoyed it even after the 3rd time watching it.
Rating: Summary: Funny, but strained. Review: I saw this movie in theaters on the opening weekend, and I loved it. Unfortunately, I think I was the only one in there who did. It was funny as hell. Great sight gags, and lines that I really never get tired of repeating to my friends.... But still, I got the feeling that the Farrelly boys were trying just a little too hard to make a big money picture. The pressure of topping "There's Something About Mary" financially, along with the pressure of topping "Dumb & Dumber" in terms of humor... I think it might have been too much for them. I also got the feeling that while everyone harped on the profanity-laden dialogue of the three African-American actors, no one picked up that it was supposed to a satire on black stereotypes in film. They cursed up a storm, but they were also all geniuses headed to Ivy League colleges. Maybe it was half-assed satire, but satire nonetheless. I thought the movie was pretty funny, and I still heartily recommend it to my friends, even if they think I'm nuts for doing so.
Rating: Summary: what I have to say about this film: Review: Unfortunately, this isn't the sickest thing I've seen on film( due to the viewing of an unbeLIEVably Sick Nine Inch Nails video< and no, I'm not talking about the video of Happiness In Slavery, pal>). I can hardly mention a word of it, here. Thanks, but no thanks, Trent.
