I Love You Phillip Morris....... Sorry Phil You Didn't Do It For Me.


Jim Carrey returns to the big screen later this month and teams up with Ewan McGregor for I Love You Phillip Morris.

Steven Russell (Carrey) leads a seemingly average life – an organ player in the local church, happily married to Debbie (Leslie Mann), and a member of the local police force. 

That is until he has a severe car accident that leads him to the ultimate epiphany: he’s gay and he’s going to live life to the fullest – even if he has to break the law to do it. 

Taking on an extravagant lifestyle, Steven turns to cons and fraud to make ends meet and is eventually sent to the State Penitentiary where he meets the love of his life, a sensitive, soft-spoken man named Phillip Morris (McGregor). 

His devotion to freeing Phillip from jail and building the perfect life together prompts him to attempt (and often succeed at) one impossible con after another. 

Told with an uncanny sense of humour and a lot of heart, “I Love You Phillip Morris” is an oddball tale of what can happen when the legal system, a daredevil spirit and undying love collide.

Released 17th march. take a look at some clips from the movie:

 

Unfortunately it just was not for me.  Yes it was funny and yes it was a very good film.... But there was something missing, not sure what..... It also didn't help seeing Carrey and McGregor kissing, I am not homophobic in the slightest, but please, icons like that just don't go right in a gay love buddy movie.
I would recommend a watch but not to buy on DVD!! 

Sorry, your not getting my ££££.

Ciao
