This absolutely makes me howl with laughter. It's Carrey at his comic best! It's simple plot allows for the minimum of set-up, so that Carrey can get down to some classic clowning. If you don't, at least, titter at this, you need a check-up from the neck up.

Another one of my all time favorites. He should have made a part two to this. I crack up still watching this movie. It's forever funny.
