Reviews for I Love You Phillip Morris
Enjoyable, offbeat and inventively directed comedy-drama with a superb script and a terrific performance from Jim Carrey.
This is one of those rare romantic comedies that's both romantic and comic.
Hugely entertaining in fits and starts, thanks to the flash and sass of Carrey’s catch-me-if-you-can antics.
Best of all, throughout this madcap yarn, Carrey's Russell is a fittingly unreliable narrator and thus pings the movie randomly through time in occasionally bewildering and ultimately exhilarating fashion.
Carrey is definitely the star of the film, but McGregor remains the emotional anchor.
One of the funniest films of the year, this is a wonderful mix of old-school Carrey outrageousness with a genuinely touching — and very modern — love story.
Story and style are all over the place, rendering it somewhat inaccessible. Admittedly, the whole film is in a bit of an aesthetic dither, which will confound many viewers.
Doesn't seem to know where it's going or why it's going there, and the result is an unusual movie that's entertaining but not particularly satisfying.
