An average movie

When was the last time that Jim Carrey had a hit? I guess it was with ‘Yes Man’ which was released almost a decade ago. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, I had already seen the damned thing but since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, that’s basically a typical comedy on which Jim Carrey has built up his career but I thought it was not bad at all. In fact, to be honest, the concept was actually rather idiotic and, to make things worse, it was really hard to care about the main character. I mean, he had a decent job, a girlfriend who looked like Jennifer Aniston and, yet, he kept complaining all the time. Eventually, what made this movie was worked was Jim Carrey himself. Indeed, with anyone else, it would have been pretty lame but Carrey was just really good here. Seriously, back in those days, the guy was at the top of his game and most of his jokes were just really funny. Eventually, since it was a box-office success, they obviously had to come up with a sequel called ‘Evan Almighty’ but Jim Carrey was smart enough to stay away from the damned thing and it turned out to be a really expensive flop. To conclude, in spite of its flaws, I thought it was a decent comedy and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like Jim Carrey's work.
