We were lucky to catch one of those screenings of a movie that they hand out flyers to when you're leaving a movie the other night. The movie is an Independent Film, so we are not sure when the movie will be released, or if it will be in every theater or only in a few.
The title of the movie is "I Love You Phillip Morris", Starring Jim Carrey, Ewan McGregor and Leslie Mann. The movie is based on the true life story of Steven Russell.
The movie begins with Jim Carrey's character laying in his deathbed reflecting on his life and talking to the audience via a voice over. We see a flash back to his childhood and find out he was adopted. When he grows up, he discovers who his birth mother is and goes over to find out why she didn't want him and is turned away. He begins to cheat on his wife{Played by Leslie Mann} and that is when the fun of the movie really begins. We find out that Steven is gay and has been living a lie. He and his wife divorce, but remain friends. Steven finds a boyfriend and they begin their life together. As it turns out Steven is a con-man and comes up with different schemes to make money. While in prison, he meets Phillip Morris, played by Ewan McGregor and they begin a love affair.
Now if you can get past all of the male male kissing{Jim Carrey and Ewan McGreor} and the simulated gay sex scenes, you will have a great time watching this film.
When this film comes out{No Pun Intended}, you should go see it.
This film is worth full price and should be seen in a theater with a crowd to get the full enjoyment and effect of the scenes.
