I remember seeing it BC with my husband (Before Children) and thought it was hilarious. What I didn't remember was the liberal dose of profanity and running stream of sexual references. I wish I had read the common sense media review, before renting it. Are my kids worse off for seeing it? No. Did they laugh? Yes. I recommend you proceed with caution...
Chobitgirl, this movie's rated PG-13. What made you think it was a kid's movie? Furthermore, if you're a kid, why are you labeled as an adult viewer? Are you just trying to be a troll or something? Now that that's out of the way, on with the actual review:
This is actually my favorite Jim Carrey movie. Not only is it the same overthetop hilarity we expect from the guy, but it also tells a heartwarming story of a father's relationship with his son. People like CS seem to let Carrey's antics erase that fact from their minds and that shouldn't be the case. If you're looking for a good comedy, I'd highly recommend this.
You all may think, she's just another movie hater. Well, I am a movieluver and I had top say this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I watched this with my 11 year old and I had to turn it off because too much sex content and language. i mean, a guy beating himself up on purpose just to get to a party is a role model of Charlie Sheen. Some parts are touching but not long enough for you to say, this is a fun loving and entergetic movie.
Most people either love or hate Jim Carrey. My son and I are in the former camp.
It's a showpiece for him at his silliest, fighting with a pen, beating himself up, roasting an entire conference room full of people.
It's interesting to watch a smooth talker and schmoozer fall apart when he can't lie anymore.
And it's a great story for a boy to watch with his Dad since the major themes are about the Dad's realization that his workaholic ways are hurting his son.
