An average movie

To enjoy this movie, it all depends where you stand concerning Jim Carrey. Basically, if you love the guy, you'll probably love this movie as well and if you can't stand him, I guess you'd better pass on this one. Jim Carrey has a pretty decent career and I like the way he mixes some pretty straightforward comedies and some more edgy material. This time, it is pretty obvious that this movie belonged to the first category but I thought it was not bad at all. Two things bothered me though. The first one is that I thought it was just way too similar to 'Liar Liar'. Indeed, in 'Liar Liar', Carrey couldn't lie and this time, he cannot say 'no' so the concept felt like a big déjà vu. The other thing that bothered me was that not only the whole concept was not really original, it actually didn't work out very well and felt forced. But still, Jim Carrey was, as usual, quite hilarious and Zooey Deschanel was awesome and very charming. To conclude, it is a rather standard and unoriginal Carrey comedy but it is still pretty entertaining and just plain funny, so I think it is worth a look, especially if you enjoyed the previous comedies starring Jim Carrey.
