This movie, i grew up on this and three other movies. It was nothing but a fun and hilarious, roll on floor laughinh, piss my pants, kind of comedy. but after a while, it just becomes hilarious. i loved how jim carrey acted with the madk on, it really showed how every one has at least two sides to themselves. i would watch this all the time... i think it was the first jim carrey movie i saw. i used to call jim steve... but anyways, this was a great movie that in my opinion deserves 15/10 stars. i'm not gonna change it and you can't make me.
