So, even though I am upset that I was only able to see the American edit of I Love You Phillip Morris, I am glad I at least got to see that...
I Love You Phillip Morris is an unusual movie...unusual in a good way. It is a TRUE story about con-man Steve Russell (Jim Carrey) finding the love of his life, Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor), in prison. It is one of the the strangest and most hard-to-believe true stories that has been made into a film. Russell's character attempts and succeeds in multiple crazy schemes that seem like they would have to be completely fictitious. The cons that Russell pulls off and the things that he does make him both impressive and infuriating. Russell is a more complex character than I would expect to see Carrey play, but Carrey pulls the role off. It is refreshing. Plus he works exceptionally well with McGregor in this film. They are THE two biggest reasons to watch the unique and enigmatic I Love You Phillip Morris.
