I did not care for the Pet Detective movies because they were moronic. Jim was Andy Kuaffman, it was like Jim was channeling Andy, he should have got an Oscar for this performance.   (6 people found this comment helpful, 2 did not)

He can be over the top in most of his stuff, but maybe that is what the characters call for. I was impressed with Etern. Sun. Spot. Mind. For the most part, I've enjoyed his films.... just a bit over the top... that's what we've come to expect I suppose. He's okay.   (0 people found this comment helpful, 1 did not)

This subconsciously effects all the other actors and drags the whole performance down into a turgid swamp of blandness. However, this cardinal sin is something Carrey could never be accused of. Carrey lends an infectious and, some would say, slightly insane, energy to all his movies. This pulsating, crazed energy, far from being a hindrance, is entirely apt for the parts he plays. Who else could play his role in a film like Liar Liar where Carrey plays, to perfection, the part of a pathological liar driven insane by a truth-inducing curse? Who else could play his part in The Cable Guy, where Carrey ably portrays a TV-reared psychopath whose knowledge of life was garnered by watching exaggerated caricatures of it? Who else could be Ace Ventura, a man who's wild and animalistic in his ways because he relates better to beasts than humans? Who else could be Jim Carrey? For many, overacting is an unfortunate affliction; for Carey, it's an art form.   (4 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

It was a brillant performance and I hope he makes more movies like this.   (0 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

He is pretty much the same kind of person in every movie, same emotions, same facial expressions...everything. And it's so sad. He was in some promising movies (Truman Show, Bruce Almighty etc)and I enjoyed everything in the movie but him. I don't like him as an actor or as a person. He is way too much in love with himself.   (0 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

I just saw A Series of Unfortunate Events, and while it wasn't his best performance, it was still hilarious. Probaly my favourite movie of his would be The Grinch, and I know it's corny, but I still laugh every time!   (5 people found this comment helpful, 1 did not)

12. edt4 (33) , on 1/20/2005 2:06:00 PM, said:      Very talented and, to me at least, funny guy, but one of those comedians that you either really like or really don't. It's hard to imagine anyone has ambivalent feelings about him. To me, he has the rare ability to make films that, on their own, are quite unfunny (like Ace Ventura) funny.   (4 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

13. Wavebacker (5) , on 12/11/2004 10:43:00 PM, said: Enormously talented and extremely funny. When he does a great movie - Like Bruce Almighty, he shines. A really nutty guy ( like Robin Williams) who, when he plays to his strengths, is one of the best around.   (2 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

What do I know? I like the Cable Guy. If you watch it, watch it as an insane guy and not a comedy. Then it is ok.   (0 people found this comment helpful, 1 did not)

20. dragonman (2) , on 9/26/2004 7:11:00 AM, said: He's a great actor no denying it and is still funny but he seriously should do another Ace Ventura movie before he get's too old, I miss the totally crazy Jim Carrey movies he did before. He shouldn't just do dramatic roles.   (2 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)
