I Love You Phillip Morris

2010, Movie, 1h 38min

Steven Russell leads a seemingly average life – an organ player in the local church, happily married to Debbie, 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. 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.

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...

...an intriguing, offbeat comedy.

...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.
