Synopsis:Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) leads a seemingly average life – an organ player in the local church, happily married to Debbie (Leslie Mann), and a member of the local police force. That is until he has a severe car accident that leads him to the ultimate epiphany: he‘s gay and he‘s going to live life to the fullest – even if he has to break the law to do it. Taking on an extravagant lifestyle, Steven turns to cons and fraud to make ends meet and is eventually sent to the State Penitentiary where he meets the love of his life, a sensitive, soft–spoken man named Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). His devotion to freeing Phillip from jail and building the perfect life together prompts him to attempt (and often succeed at) one impossible con after another.


Customer Review
Catch me if you Brokeback with Dick and Jane 10 out of 100
This could have been a much better film but seemed to swing between comedy and drama too much. Carrey and McGregor were mis-cast for this reason. Carrey being very good during the comedy bits but lost during the drama. McGregor being the opposite. Its like a mash-up between Brokeback Mountain, Catch me if you Can and Fun with Dick and Jane. Each of which is a very good film but not so good when combined. Could have cut out alot and produced a good fast paced film. What was director trying to achieve? Who knows.

Outstanding 45 out of 100
I LOVED this film. It's an incredible true story about love, stubborness and sheer balls, and it made me laugh and cry at the same time. Steven Russell, the man who's story the film is based on, is an absolute legend. RENT IT!!!! You will not be disappointed.

144 years??? 40 out of 100
A bit surprised when this came along, was thinking it might be about the Tobacco giant.... Instead, we see Jim Carey and Ewan MacGregor fairly convincing in roles that we perhaps not expect to see them in. An engaging film that ticks along nicely. Was left fairly dumbstruck at the end though when we learn that the principle character is currently just 7 years into a 144yr sentence and 23hr hour a day lockdown for what is essentially fraud. A lot of bankers in today's climate can count themselves

Bizarrely funny 35 out of 100
Strange concept, unusual casting and even more disturbing that it is based on a true story. McGregor and Carey play quite the charming couple. A rare and quite worthy comedy, with a sprinkle of tenderness.

Cary never fails to bring a smile to my face 35 out of 100
Jim Cary always brings a smile to my face and in this there is no exception! It truly shows the debts you would go to for that special person! only down side was that it was a bit long winded!

Great viewing. 35 out of 100
There's a lot to like about this film. Not least the fact that Jim Carey gets to act. The fact that the story is true means that for the whole film you wonder if he'll get away with his next scheme.

Can the truth be this far fetched? 30 out of 100
It's only in the last few scenes that you realise the enormity of this true story. Up until then it is a light hearted comedy where no-one really gets hurt and all of the characters have good hearts and the best of intentions. But in the end I was left feeling a bit uneasy at the lengths that the main character went to and the depth of his disturbed nature. Reading the text at the end of the film gives you an idea of just how serious this story is, and leaves you questioning if you should have b

The chisel is in the Post!! 50 out of 100
We are in a recession however this guy Philip Morris is any shareholder's dream financial Manager. I am shocked companies havent sprung him out of Jail to employ him. I am currently planning his escape to help me with my debts. Insprired by The Shawshank Redemption. Great Film
