So I guess love can really blossom anywhere. This includes a prison setting between two inmates. Based on a true story Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) meets his mister right Phillip Morris (Ewan Mcgregor). Russell at one point in his life was a cop and married to a woman. After an accident he decides to live life as he wanted, a gay con man. It wouldn't surprise me that Russell wanted to be a con man more than openly gay. The scenes with Morris are funny and sweet. The two dancing like no one else is around when in reality a inmate is fighting guards next door is touching and humorous at the same time. This is a pretty descent movie with Carrey's best acting in year but the movie does nothing to stand apart from any other movie. Not very original but still quite enjoyable.
7/10
Recommendation: A great Jim Carrey movie so for fans of him I'd recommend it.
