I Love You Phillip Morris: DVD Review
I Love You Phillip Morris
Rating: R16
Released by Roadshow
Jim Carrey stars as flamboyant conman Steven Russell in this film
which is outrageous and fun at the same time.
Adopted at birth,Russell feels he's living a lie and suddenly
decides everything must change-so he starts committing frauds left
right and centre to pay for his life as a gay man and enjoy the
extravagances.
But as ever, the law catches up with him and banged up, Russell
finds Ewan McGregor's sweetly touching Phillip Morris and the two
fall in love.
However, Russell's determined to get out of jail and does
everything in his power to ensure Morris and he have a life
together-but it doesn't run smoothly.
Light, frothy, funny and outrageous in equal measures,ILYPM is a
hilarious and insanely fun ride with scenes which will shock and
surprise you.
Carrey is very good as Russell but it's McGregor who's the best
thing in this with his performance just endearing on many levels.
OTT it may be, but it's a great piece of popcorn
entertainment.
