Oh, my friends...

I'm not really sure how I feel about this, but it was too squirm-inducing not to share:

On the one hand, Ewan McGregor is congenitally adorable. On the other, well, Jim Carrey. I mean, I really enjoy some of his movies. The Truman Show was awesome and Bruce Almighty was a lot of fun. But I just can't see where they are going with this. Goofball RomCom? Another movie in the "Gay is Funny" genre? I just can't tell.

Maybe I'm just pissed off that Jim FREAKING Carrey gets to snog Ewan McGregor.

I fear to look, yet I cannot turn away.

I don't know about this movie. I can barely figure it out from the trailer. But actually, I like Jim Carrey. If the reviews are good, I might see it.

I've enjoyed a lot of Jim Carrey's movies. I think that he is a very talented actor, just not eye candy. ;) If the reviews are good, I'll see this one. It's based on the true crime story written by a Reporter in Texas who covered it:

http://www.amazon.com/I-Love-You-Phillip-Morris/dp/0786869038

Most of the original newspaper articles are available online. He escaped from jail several times and conned his way into CFO jobs and all that, though his one weakness seemed to be his affection for Philip Morris, who probably wasn't all that into him in return, from what I read, anyway. It's an interesting story, but I suspect they may have some issues adapting it. Steven Russel was supposed to be a very charming, very convincing con man, which is sort of against type for Carrey. It could be good.
