CGiii Comment

Carrey over-acts (as usual) and McGregor just can't act - although he has had plenty of practice.

Considering this was based on a true story - both writer and director have stripped it of any credible realism and presented a camp travesty instead - showcasing both stars' ability to act all poofy.

No wonder it didn't get a cinematic release - nothing to do with the subject matter - it's just a bad film.

The(ir) Blurb...

Steven Russell is happily married to Debbie, and a member of the local police force when a car accident provokes a dramatic reassessment of his life. Steven becomes open about his homosexuality and decides to live life to the fullest - even if it means breaking the law. Steven's new, extravagant lifestyle involves cons and fraud and, eventually, a stay in the State Penitentiary where he meets sensitive, soft-spoken Phillip Morris. His devotion to freeing Phillip from jail and building the perfect life together prompts Steven to attempt and often succeed at one impossible con after another.
