One of the funniest films of the year, this is a wonderful mix of old-school Carrey outrageousness with a genuinely touching — and very modern — love story.

That "I Love You, Phillip Morris” is based on a true story is relevant only because it is too preposterous to be fiction.

Perhaps America isn’t ready for a lusty gay relationship between two big stars like Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor...

...en (amerikansk mainstream-) film med et homoseksuelt forhold. Og en homoseksuel hovedperson, der hverken er politisk korrekt eller bitchy vedhæng til en trendy storbytøs.

Jim Carrey, med sydstatsdialekt, får spela ut ett brett känsloregister och är stundtals i sin bästa form. Alltid kul att se komiker ge sina karaktärer en extra dimension och djup.
