I Love You Phillip Morris

PROS: The fact that this movie is based on a true story makes it impressive.  I mean the guy came up with some ingenious ways of escaping prison and stealing money. 

CONS: I wish it had been less of a comedy and more of a drama.  The laughs were few and far between and the most interesting parts (ex him inventing new ways of escaping prison) played out in quick montages.  I also thought Jim Carey's character was the same one he played in "Fun with Dick and Jane"--only now he's wearing patent leather and sporting a Forrest Gump-like accent. 

RATING: I think somewhere between this and Brokeback Mountain is a gay love story that's actually worth watching.
