Jim Carrey
Bruce Almighty (2003)
The lazy script fails at every turn fully to exploit the premise...while making the dogged Carrey fetch his shtick.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)
Batman Forever (1995)
The fatuousness of that title sums up Schumacher's approach. The director allows his few scrupulous choices to be overwhelmed by garish vaudeville.
The Truman Show (1996)
[A] hugely entertaining dramatization of Plato's "Allegory of the Cave"...a fable that would be relevant 50 years earlier and no doubt will remain relevant 50 years hence.
The Number 23 (2007)
Though the holes were rather small, I had to count them all. Now we know how many holes it takes to fill
The Number 23
.
Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who (2008)
Dumb and Dumber (1994)
The Farrellys' knack for stupid, Three Stooges-esque comedy writ larger by an infusion of heart excels with the complementary screen teaming of manic Jim Carrey and consummate screen actor Jeff Daniels.
The Mask (1994)
Pretty thin material, but it still holds up for the same reason it worked in 1994: Carrey unleashed in a part tailor-made for just that purpose.
Yes Man (2008)
[The] writers...pay lip service to the dark side of 'yes,' but don’t do enough to explore what could have made the film more than a bouncy entertainment
Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009)
Call me a Scrooge, but I'll pass on this synthetic version of that most humanistic of tales.
I Love You Phillip Morris (2010)
It’s funny because it’s true. That’s the idea behind the mad-love story
I Love You Phillip Morris
, which gets its kicks by being much stranger than fiction.
The Cable Guy (1996)
Kick-Ass 2 (2013)
Give this to
Kick-Ass 2
: it's never boring...Even so,
Kick-Ass
has lost most of its transgressive charge along with its element of surprise and its heroes' disturbingly unwavering conviction.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)
Cinematic dessert for kids.
