Well, you gotta love the comical presentation of these real life events. Yup, its almost hard to believe 'I Love you Phillip Morris' is based on fact. This was really funny! Off course, in real life it was no laughing matter - especially not for the actual person, Steven Jay Russell, on who's life the film is based.
Jim Carrey is well cast as Steven Russell, and I found Ewan McGregor rather endearing as his lover and titular character, Phillip Morris. Phillip Morris, as it turns out, is also an actual person and real life lover of Steven Jay Russell.
I seldom enjoy gay-themed movies (not for any other reason apart the fact I find most of them boring and predictable), but I really enjoyed 'I love you Phillip Morris'. This was hilarious and unpredictable and I enjoyed the way the story unfolded. I loved the characters and the actors who portrayed them.
This is not a role you'd expect Carrey to portray, but his trademark humor is well suited for the character and he does it brilliantly. This is not exactly a film suited for family movie night, but it will hit the target with the right audience. It was a lot of fun!
