Search: Starring Jim Carrey

To say that this is nothing like funny enough is to suggest that it's not funny at all, which is wrong, because it is, some of the time.

The enhancements here come, not to the source material but to the look of the film, which is beautifully rendered in immersive 3D.

A pleasantly entertaining film which will amuse children without greatly distressing adults. What's unfortunate is that it isn't nearly as entertaining as it ought to be.

There is no reason why this should not be a hoot, but nothing is followed through, as if the writers are desperate to fit everything in before the sentimental finale.

The slapstick is not funny, it's violent. A sensitive child will be shocked to tears.

An odd mix of affectionate satire and jarringly brutal slapstick, the former more successful than the latter except for when an unhinged Jim Carrey is on the prowl.

What makes it work is that the film sticks so close to the form of a traditional Hollywood romance, ignoring the tropes of gay indie cinema.

Jim Carrey makes a compelling villain, so much so that when he's not on screen, you want him back.

It’s a one-man showcase where Carrey’s shouty, motormouth antics are the whole dog-and-pony show

Jim Carrey plays Jimmy Stewart in a homespun piece of whimsy that is far too long.

There are moments when you feel that this is either a memorial tribute for the family, or a postumous practical joke, as Carrey acts his socks off and the need to honour the cult-of-Andy appears paramount.

The film is patchy. The funny parts are inspired. Others... fall flat.

Jim Carrey's latest is a perfectly pleasant if predictable picture about a part-time pop who learns his priorites after receiving a package of penguins.

Horribly unlikely, indulgent murder mystery, the outcome of which you're likely to guess at least half an hour before the end.

Mostly harmless.

Unlike many adaptions it does want to have fun, worrying less about being pixel-perfect or po-faced than propulsive plotting.

Jim Carrey throws off his clownish mannerisms and gives a sympathetic performance of a naive man discovering a little knowledge.

Carrey has managed to find a middle ground for his divisive brand of comedy, using his natural humour to its fullest extent but steering clear of excessive slapstick.
