I have seen this movie, even though it hasn't officially come out yet. It keeps getting delayed and now they're unsure if it is even going to be released at all.
Anyway, I saw it because I like to watch Jim Carrey when he takes on unconventional roles for himself (like he's done with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Man on the Moon, and even The Truman Show). He's a good actor, and I think that he should win an Oscar someday.
I was kind of confused by the title of this movie because I wasn't sure if it had something to do with Phillip Morris, the tobacco company (it didn't). Turns out, this was based on real-life events, and the guy that Jim Carrey's character loves is actually named Phillip Morris (played by Ewan McGregor). If it wasn't his name in real-life, I'm sure they wouldn't have used it for the movie because, like I said, it's confusing.
But this movie was good, and original, and well-crafted and acted and such. It kind of dragged a bit in spots, but I liked knowing that it was based on a true story, which made the shenanigans all the more exciting.
