A bad movie

To be honest, I have never understood the appeal of this movie but, on the other hand, it has been a while since I saw it so maybe I should give it a 2nd chance. In fact, I even saw the damned thing in the movie theater when it was released. Back then, out of nowhere, Jim Carrey took over the box-office following ‘Ace Ventura: Pet Detective’ and ‘The Mask’ and this movie would be his 3^rd box-office hit all during 1994. Since I enjoyed both ‘Ace Ventura: Pet Detective’ and ‘The Mask’, I was quite eager to check this movie and I was expecting it to be seriously hilarious. Well, eventually, it turned out to be a massive disappointment, that’s for sure. Of course, I fully understand that this movie was supposed to be dealing with some really stupid characters but, as far as I was concerned, I thought it was seriously cringe-inducing to behold and I can’t recall a single moment when I thought I was watching something really hilarious. The Farelly brothers would manage to strike gold again with ‘There's Something About Mary’ (another rather overrated comedy in my opinion) but most of their following movies would eventually under-perform at the box-office. Anyway,  coming back to our main feature, I think it is one of the most overrated comedies ever made and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
