Susan comes through in the clutch. Well said. I’m of the mind that Carrey’s “strong acting” is what the thespian crowd calls “overacting” (just ask Swoosie Kurtz from Liar, Liar), and while that works in films like Ace Ventura, it doesn’t work in a classic piece like this.

But, I’ll leave an open mind, as this tale is one of my all-time faves.

“Every film that Carrey makes has too much of him in. He is such a strong character that he completely takes over and the film quicky becomes The Jim Carrey Show. I’d like to bet that by the end of this film any co-stars will have faded into the background completely.”

I couldnt have said it better.

However i will be seeing this cause im dating a gal who loves this stuff and tbh it looks like a fun movie to me.

Yep, that’s exactly what I said and think. The only question mark in this movie is Jim Carrey. How much can we handle? Based on the trailer, I’d say it’s hard to say, but I’m leaning towards too much Jim Carrey thus far.

I dunno- the animation looks much improved over Polar Express and Beowulf and overall I think it looks very promising… but the whole Wile E. Coyote shooting firework/megaphone/dunce cap thing? They going for Looney Tunes humor here?
