What can I say, it's a classic. Over 15 years later, it still makes me laugh every time. Although it is kind of a love it or hate it film. It truly is Carrey at his best. Nothing but love for this film. A+. Read and rate it

Upon viewing this over ten years afte rit's release, I have decided it is not funny. Carrey's gags are repetitive and inane, and add nothing to character or plot. It's a shame, I had remembered it fondly. Read and rate it
