This film is about a conman who met his love in the prison. He lives a series of lies, despite claiming he has sorted out his priorities in life.
In "I Love You Phillip Morris", I think Ewan McGregor truly shines. His demeanours and mannerisms are very convincing. The way he looks at Jim Carrey is full of love and longing, and yet shy and restrained like a little girl having a crush for the first time. He does not need to the his earring on his right ear to declare his sexuality.
As for the story, "I Love You Phillip Morris" is probably better summed up as a tragic romantic drama with comedic elements. I think the love story is presented very well, while the con tricks are delegated as the side story. This arrangement may harm its commercial chances in the USA, but it is more touching and engaging.
