The film is not lightweight and tells the story of an inveterate conman. In terms of narrative, it is a romp, but one that takes some surprising (if not dark) turns. I Love You Philip Morris is a film that has a clear sense of warmth and is supported by superb performances. As if all of the above wasn't enough "I Love You Phillip Morris" is hysterically funny. The tenderness is nothing short of breathtaking. Look at McGregor's face when he realizes this man really loves him. I saw the film on the 8th, 4 days ago and I've been craving to see it again ever since. I'm certain it's going to be one of the hits of 2009 and Jim Carrey as well as Ewan McGregor will get Oscar nominations. The fact that this film couldn't get a distribution is beyond me. It is so intimate and real that I realized I had never seen it quite like this on the screen before. I totally believe in the flame that both of them ignite looking into each other's eyes. Miles away from the wonderful Brokeback Mountain because here their love is public without borders. The love story between Jim Carrey and the astonishing Ewan McGregor is a first for the screen. Ends up in jail and meets the love of his life. He remains friends and close to his family. After years of being a wonderful father and husband he confesses to his wife that he's gay. A con man in the vein of Leonardo Di Caprio in "Catch Me As You Can" that deep down is overwhelmingly honest. The film starts by telling us the story is true, really, really true and that adds to the already enormous surprise. The audience rewarded it with a heartfelt applause and me among them.
A packed screening at the Sunset 5 in Hollywood.
