Review: I Love You Phillip Morris

I Love You Phillip Morris is a superb balance of Jim Carrey goofiness and Catch Me If You Can crime cleverness, and I was surprised at how complex some of the later cons and jail escapes got. Usually films collapse apart after their introductory scenes, but Phillip Morris continues strong for most of the movie with only the few sentimental scenes holding it endorse from being great.

Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) leads the life of a moral man whoâ€™s a cop married to a religious wife with an guiltless family. After a revelation about his past teaches him he doesnâ€™t recognize as much about himself as he had mind, he lets out other various concealed truths about who he is. He quits his job and abandons his family to embrace his hidden homosexuality, which leads to an expensive lifestyle thatâ€™s handled by performing several immoral cons that eventually dispatch him to jail. There he meets the passion of his life, Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). The rest of the motion picture is his attempt to keep the two of them together by continuing a life of breaking the rules, resulting in some truly impressive schemes.
