Think "Catch Me If You Can" mashed up with "Brokeback Mountain" if Mel Brooks directed and you'll get the idea. Read full review

Nothing tops ILYPM's Jim Carrey ... in the most gloriously raunchy, unrepentant moment in the an(n)als of Hollywood A-listers doing gay-for-pay. Read full review

One of the funniest films of the year, this is a wonderful mix of old-school Carrey outrageousness with a genuinely touching - and very modern - love story. Read full review

If you're a fan of provocative, offbeat films such as "My Own Private Idaho" or "The Crying Game," you might want to give "Phillip Morris" a chance. Read full review

I Love You Phillip Morris is tragedy, or something close to it, decked out in comedy's clothes. Read full review

There's plenty to scratch your head about here. Is it a drama? A comedy? And if it's a farce, what's it making fun of? Read full review

I Love You Phillip Morris not only blasts gay stereotypes back decades, it could actually make people wish for a third "Ace Ventura" movie. Both of those are an accomplishment, though neither is a compliment. Read full review

"I Love You Phillip Morris" is a great, fun and inspirational movie. Please bring me more movies like these! The plot is smart, the acting is great and the humanity is real. Why is only 5% of what Hollywood produces considered art? This movie is a celebration. Yes, Yes and Yes.

This movie is very underrated! I, as alot of people who have seen this movie love Jim Carrey, he's the ultimate funnyman, in my opinion and this doesn't disappoint in terms of comedy! :D People need to give this a chance!

"I Love You Phillip Morris" is a heart warm comedy that gives its best to the audience with the funny, usual performance by Jim Carrey and girlish acting by Ian Mcgregor.

If it wasn't for its consistently heartwarming tone and two brilliant performances from Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey, I Love You Phillip Morris would fall flat on its face.

A solid enough comedy about a conman on the lam.
Led by one of Carrey's finest performances, and not a bad turn by McGregor as well.

Jim Carrey portrays the manic complexity of Steven Russell well. One part criminal genius, one part devoted partner and one part clown, Russell makes us cheer at his clever crimes and lament the consequences though he certainly has it coming. Leslie Mannâ

Not funny, not original. Jim Carrey plays the same character he played twenty years ago in Pet Detective, and it doesn't work anymore. His character is so over the top, it's like a cartoon character who gets run over multiple times and emerges without a scratch. Sad to see that certainNot funny, not original.

In short, unbearable to watch.… Expand
