now and these movie can not be take too seriously . the storyline be silly and the dialog be silly and the concept be silly and with one extraordinary exception represent jim carrey and who and in contrast and use his extremely intelligent wit and hugely humorous body action to make this movie what it be and hilarious . the fact be and this man arguably a genius and he make a possibly average and run of the mill and traight to tv comedy into an all time classic . you can switch your brain off and literally laugh yourself to tear watch the scene in which he act in . he carry this movie and no doubt and his performance in this be extremely underrated . be one of his first major role and to actually manage to single handedly make this movie what it be with his sheer brilliance at be a comedian actor and well and it should not be overlook . but of course and it have it flaws . the fact be and the scene without carrey ( albeit and theyre not many of them ) really just show this movie doesn not have much else go for it besides the man himself . many of the other actor or actress ( include courtney cox ) just aren not funny . but this movie and in my opinion and deserve an 8 and because it just really showcasing jim carreys excellence . watch it and believe me and you will get hooked .
