Media Center>Jim Carrey is 60
InChiefsHeaven 09:42 AM 01-20-2022
Favorite Jim Carrey movies:
The Cable Guy - darkly funny as hell
Ace Ventura Pet Detective - stupid toilet humor, but that dude was just hilarious in that
The Mask - yes, I liked it. Also, Cameron Diaz was SMOKIN'...
The Truman Show - Funny and touching, have not seen it in years but I remember liking it
Liar Liar - Just funny stuff in that, and also kinda nice ending
Me, Myself and Irene - I laughed my ass off watching that. Loved the dual characters.

Other than those, I don't know how many of his movies I've watched, never bothered with the "serious" ones. Too bad he's batshit crazy, but the talented ones usually are.

I'd add Dumb and Dumber.

Some times adolescent humor is just what the doctor ordered. I won't apologize for enjoying it from time to time.

But also, these days, fuck that guy.

It's funny. I loved Kingpin, but didn't care for Dumb and Dumber or Something About Mary. I honestly couldn't tell you why.

I've only ever seen parts of the two you mentioned but, I'm sure if I thought about it I could come up with some slapstick comedies that I don't much care for either.

You know what, The Jerk, with Steve Martin. It just doesn't do it for me yet is loved by so many (guess I should throw this mention in the other thread when I get done here). Three Amigos is great but, The Jerk mostly bores me. :-) Just one of those things.

I really liked The Jerk, and didn't like Three Amigos. Go figure.

Although my favorite Steve Martin comedies are Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and The Man With Two Brains. Absolutely love both of them.

Kingpin has so much clever humor. The slapstick stuff is the sideshow IMO>

That was easily the best Diaz we've ever gotten. Yowzer.

I mentioned this one earlier. A great film, directed by Frank Darabont (Shawshank, Green Mile). While the premise is more than a bit far-fetched, it really works, and Carrey gives a solid, completely straight-up performance.

Definitely worth a look for anyone who hasn't seen it.

I have an Adam Sandler level dislike for this dude. He was funny in In Living Color, but shoulda stopped there, not my cup. I get it though, if you guys like him.

I thought he was hilarious when I was a kid but for some reason he’s not as funny anymore. I guess it’s cause he got older, a lot of the best comedians became less funny with age except for Rodney Dangerfield.
