Review: I Love You Phillip Morris

Slap bang in the middle of the two sides of Jim Carrey's work, I Love You Phillip Morris allows plenty of time for Carrey to camp it up in his outrageous, rubber-faced style whilst also managing to touch on some pretty dark subjects at several points too.

Carrey plays Steve Russell, who has an epiphany after a near-fatal car crash, becoming a flamboyant gay conman that stays just the right side of a stereotype thanks to Carrey's likeability - McGregor stars as the title character, doing the whole wide eyed, near-retard Southern thing we've seen from him before - but doesn't feature enough to ruin the movie.

I wouldn't say the film is a total success - it isn't quite a funny as it needs to be in places, but the several incredibly brave choices in the film that make it worth a watch for sure.
