I saw this in the theater and it was pretty weak, a few funny parts but overall i've had enough of this watered down jim carrey and would like to see him return to the kind of roles that made him famous such as Ace Ventura and Lloyd Christmas.

I'll stick with the original Jane Fonda/George Segal version.

This will definitely be a rental. Can't believe it passed $100 million considering the reviews were awful. Wasn't too much of a profit considering the $100 million production budget. I would think that's rare for a comedy.

I was hoping for more extras, but maybe some of those will be better than they sound. Carrey's outtakes are usually pretty good. I will be getting this for sure. I liked it a lot.

I didn't bother with this in the theaters, but I'll give it a go on DVD.

I loved the movie,but that cover is awful. And why doesn't Jim Carrey ever get involved in dvd extras for his movies? The fact that he wasn't involved in his career-making movie SEs(Mask,Dumb & Dumber),and all the rest(Truman Show,this,etc)
As many fans as he has(including me,he's one of my favorite actors)
How many people would want a Jim Carrey commentary?

That's basically the poster, and considering this is Sony, I think it's good it isn't just his giant face. I like the cover OK.

The movie was watchable but light on laughs and felt a little long even at 90 minutes. Worth a rental for the Enron humor, but that's about it.

It was pretty good. Saw it yesterday at the dollar theater. Had a few good gags but thought the original was more inspired. This one seemed like they were relying on JC's eyebrows to carry the flat spots. I'll pick this up as a rental
