I think I can safely say that this movie is one of the worst I have ever seen. I had expected a lot more from Carrey, since he usually is capable of lifting a rather dull movie to a new level by means of unexpected turns or lines. However, I was deeply disappointed to find out that this movie is really nothing more than just an extremely good try to put as many cliche s as one can in a movie. And that with the man who made masterpieces of originality like The Cable Guy or Truman Show. Throughout the movie I got more and more irritated by the eversmiling faces of the townspeople and the fact that I could not only tell what would happen next, but also exactly how, with what camera-angle and which background. Except for counting cliche s, I have spend the entire duration of the movie waiting for the typical Jim Carrey joke that would reveal something that would change the whole movie, showing the viewer that it was not meant as a serious attempt to a bad movie. there were even times when I wondered whether I was watching a serious movie, or a comical. I don´t know what came into everyone in Hollywood when they let this script pass or into Carrey when he accepted this part. Please, can someone tell me that I am mistaken and that I have not understood the actual point of this movie? Please, can someone tell me it is not as terrible as it seems?
