Jim Carrey stars in 'I Love You Phillip Morris", a love story, a comedy and a satire that plays like a live action animated film. Carrey is one of the few actors who fit readily into a film that's often broad, sometimes moving and seemingly unbelievable, even though it's based on a true story.
"I Love You Phillip Morris" is very much in the Carrey milieu; he's the "I" in the title and he's the engine of the plot. Although his filmography has some low points, I'd say this is a good Carrey movie.
Carrey plays the film's narrator, Steven Russell, who begins telling his life story from what seems his deathbed. As a boy, he learns that he's adopted, which compels him to lead a model life. He becomes a police officer, marries a good, but dim, devout Christian woman (Leslie Mann) and has children. Oh, yes, he tosses in, he's also a closeted gay man.
One day, he decides to look for his birth mother; when he finds her, she rejects him. The rejection brings him to the edge emotionally, but a car accident brings an epiphany. He won't pretend anymore. He will be not just openly gay but aggressively gay. Steven leaves his family (although still maintaining ties) and moves to South Beach and gets a boyfriend (Rodrigo Santoro).
