I was out with friends, and they had already decided to go for that film. I didn't have a clue what was it about. In the first place, I'm not a fan of Jim Carrey's humor. Still, why not? I'm far from homophobia, but telling the truth, during the film I thought my buddies had been tricking me. Putting my stubbornness aside, I just watched the movie. What made me laugh most were not that much the funny scenes. This movie has a real quality. It makes one's see that men who have feelings for other men are no different than men who have feelings for women. It also makes us wonder a lot about our situation, what we want, what we're doing, where are we going. It is a comedy, but I think it deals more with, society, love, and even psychological matters. It is definitively a gay romance. A romance as touching as the most popular ones, Nothing Hill or The Notebook. I feel a hint of remorse, judging that film before. And let's point that the actors performance, especially Ewan McGregor, were quite great, really into it. Ficarra and Requa made their character's love possible to our eyes not minding the episode's absurdity. :) I felt this movie tearfully (for the most emotive ones), a little mentally troublesome because out of place at certain moments, and of course funny, drawing the whole of it quite exciting. What I liked most was the untying of the story. It is a must see movie, to seek when you're in a good mood and with people to laugh with. Unadvised to watch during the week, coming back from work. As far as I'm concerned, I would rather have watched it on my sofa at home, on a Sunday late evening; I mean, not something to go to see a theaters wondering if you just shouldn't have waited for it to go out at TV. (:
