Warm, moving and really rather brilliant.
I Love You Philip Morris is a film that has a clear sense of warmth and is supported by superb performances. In terms of narrative, it is a romp, but one that takes some surprising (if not dark) turns. The film is not lightweight and tells the story of an inveterate conman. However, the love story, that between Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) and Philip Morris (Ewan McGregor), is touching, passionate and totally convincing. But while Carrey does (inevitably, one should suppose) teeter on the manic in places, it is McGregor who is the film’s real revelation.With his blond hair and softly-spoken Southern American accent, McGregor easily gives one of the best performances I have seen him offer and represents a highly credible source of Russell’s desire. The romantic and sexual relationship between the two central characters is not glossed over, and the film is all the better for it. Ultimately, I Love You Philip Morris ranks as a fine piece of drama that also works as a comedy, albeit it a bittersweet one. All in all, if you haven’t seen it, then see it!

I Also Loved Phillip Morris (USA)…once
Yeah, they claim this to be a true story, but it’s so bizarre, they might as well have told me Brazil was also backed by true events.

I Love You Phillip Morris is called a breakaway for Jim Carrey. That part, is solidly untrue. He’s turned from his goofy form multiple times: The Truman Show, The Number 23, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Majestic, etc, etc. I guess they’re referring to: he’s now, SHOCK in 2010!, playing a gay male, oh, no!

Big deal. But what is a big deal is, if these were “true” characters, Carrey did NOT break away from his typical brand of slapstick. So, I’m lead to believe either the true Steven Russell (played by Carrey) is just like Jim Carrey or Jim Carrey put little effort into conforming to the true Russell. Either way, I doubt I will, or hope not, to see any award nominations this time around.

Furthermore, McGregor is no stranger to playing gay or out of character. But, his character, Phillip Morris, is just as annoying to watch on screen as Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s Capote. (Please note, I think Hoffman did a fantastic job at portraying Capote, but that didn’t help me like the flamboyant character/real life subject anymore.)

Russell is a former Christian and family man turned liar and a con-artist who literally can get away with anything, everything while fooling just about anyone, a la gay-Frank Abagnale Jr. from Catch Me if You Can – a thoroughly more enjoyable film. Granted both this movie and the Leonardo DiCaprio film take place way in the past where, I suppose, check kiting and credit card fraud was a bit (lot) easier, I still have a hard time believing Russell got away with a tenth of the scenarios/disguises. Perhaps if it did happen as they say, then it falls on the fault of Carrey’s believability.

Nevertheless, you simply have to believe he can become who he wants, working his way to the top of any firm and fool former prison inmate, Morris, into loving him. There’s a little background on that prison time, and more on Russell’s growing up.

Deep southern and deeper flamboyant Morris will simply believe anything Russell says and does, or he’s just blinded by love. And as the inevitable downward spiral web of lies Russell falls into, he does show a hint of true love for Russell. (Yep, I get the title of the film and 83 times he says it in the film, but you do have to look deeper than the words of the world’s gayest liar.)

This movie took a VERY long time coming to the U.S. (Long story, look it up) and was it worth the wait? Yes, and no. I wouldn’t completely dismiss it, but it is very weird. And I’m not referring to the gay scenes. Been there, done that. It’s just an abstract movie pretending to be and art-house classic.
