This is the movie that, believe it or not, convinced me that Jim Carrey could play a human being, not just a clown. He’s hilarious and the slapstick is classic, but he also has to play a convincing dad, not just a character like Ace Ventura, The Cable Guy, or Lloyd Christmas. I enjoyed all of those films, but he’s playing a character in those films, not a person. Here, he’s way over the top at times, but it’s relevant to the story. He doesn’t really go off until he realizes he can’t lie, so it makes sense. And I’ve known a lot of dads who are pretty goofy because they have young kids. So we’re not entirely in fantasyland . I still love the highly underrated The Majestic more, but I think this was a turning point in Jim Carrey’s career. I also like that Cary Elwes plays the boyfriend like a dork, but he’s not a bad person. He’s like Bill Pullman in Sleepless In Seattle. He’s a decent guy and he’s not entirely a villain.
I thought the exact same thing. I gained such unbelievable respect for him as an Actor. Don't get me wrong, Dumb & Dumber I could watch over and over again. But this one is sad, serious, hilarious & touching all in one. He is not too over the top. The bloopers are the best at the end. Must see. When Swoozie calls him out
Yeah, he's proved over the years that he can actually act. I loved him in The Majestic and in this one too. Did y'all ever see 23? Those crazy facial expressions he makes really translates well into a psychotic thriller role.
@@laustcawz2089 Not his best work. You may as well mention his role in "Peggy Sue Got Married". I'm just surprised no one mentions the Truman Show here. That was a very serious role. It was awakening to the reality that you are living in Plato's cave, and there is a more real reality outside of it. And this was far from his first serious role. He had a small part in 1988's Dirty Harry offering "The Dead Pool", and a very serious supporting role in 1992's "Doing Time on Maple Drive", and gave a fine performance. But after 1994's smash hit "Ace Ventura", he got a lot of type casting; and who can blame him for going along with it? That "cha-ching" you heard was him making bank. It should also be noted that both the first "Ace Ventura" movie and "Liar, Liar" were directed by the same dude. Tom Shadyac knew how to best use Jim Carrey without overindulging his wacky improvs. It's a fine line between brilliant and too much, and Tom knows how to walk it.
@@GeronFletcher The house I bought was from the 1970s and re-fitted during the '90s and we found out that the previous owners stuffed a shit load of their belongings in the attic. What came along with it was the entire collection of original Disney VHS that my mom was collecting as well lol. Just thought it was funny. Reminded me of the Beanie Baby type fiasco.
@@johnwray393 How many of the following have you seen? "Extreme Measures" (1996) "Trees Lounge" (1996) "The Ice Storm" (1997) "Stiff Upper Lips" (1997) "Buffalo '66" (1998) "Run, Lola, Run" (1998) "Slums Of Beverly Hills" (1998) "Election" (1999) "Detroit Rock City" (1999)
The actor who played Jerry also played Wesley in The Princess Bride. Funny the contrast in the two characters. :) Jim Carrey is incredible! All his movies are worth watching. X)
Exactly!!! The actor's name is Cary Elwes, and it makes it even crazier when you realize he is also the same person who plays Dr. Lawrence Gordon in the SAW franchise!!
Closest guy to Jim Carey is Robin Williams in my opinion, even though Robin is his own thing they just have a lot of similarities in their zaniness and impersonations and also the fact they both of them seem like they’d be fun dads
The best scene was when he looked at her and said "let me tell you something. I'm a bad father!" and then his face when he realizes what he said..... Jim Carrey is a great actor.
If the marriage was never legally binding, shouldn't the entire case be dismissed? Mrs Cole isn't legally entitled to anything except custody of the children.
The whole age legality is a whole different conversation. In truth that court case would not end there, it would be mounths going into the age thing. But this is a movie with a limit ti.e run on Jim's character, and so that had to ve the focus, and the court case just had to be completely shortcutted for that. Still a great movie, just dont look to hard on how the law actual works.
There’s some issues with the legal premise in the movie. For one thing, she was in the marriage contract well after she turned 18 for over a decade with plenty of time to make such a claim so Mr Cole’s team could easily make the case that she implied the consent for continuing the marriage after she was 18 by staying in that relationship after the fact for so long, so while the marriage was voidable due to her age at the time, she needs to argue that and there’s a lot that argues against her position (such as that she ratified the prenup by her behavior of being in the marriage - and receiving all benefits of it - for the past decade). More importantly-they admitted to fraud, and contracts made under fraudulent pretenses is a great defense against her claims that “won” the case.
The stepdad ,Jerry, is played by Cary Elways who played Westley in The Princes Bride. He also played Robin Hood in Robin Hood: Men In Tights. And these types of movies are the best for Jim Cary... check out Mr. Poppers Penguuns, Yes Man and Bruce Almighty. Love your reviews.. get to giggle along side you and rewatch my favorite oldies but goodies.
This movie was one of his best comedies Imo- I laugh every single time I see this movie- it’s just so funny- Dumber and Dumber is another notable watch!
The only one that comes close to Jim Carrey is the late John Ritter. If you haven't seen it, check out Three's Company (US version). It's one of the best sitcoms of all time. Pure comedic magic.
Great movie, but there's one glaring flaw in it: Jim's client being a minor at the time of the marriage doesn't just nullify the pre-nup, it nullifies the marriage entirely, so she gets nothing from her "husband's" estate. She could go after child support, assuming she can prove the kids are his (sounds kinda doubtful based off what we're told about her), but even then she's not guaranteed to win that. But I guess if they went through and closed that loophole, he couldn't win his case and it'd sour the movie some, so...
However, marriage is a legal contract as well. Her lying about the age would not only nullify the prenup but also the marriage. Therefore, they would have never been married.
If she was too young to sign the prenup then she was too young to sign the marriage license so the marriage was never legal and hence, no divorce is necessary. Which means no settlement. Big oops I guess
Love this movie. Jim Carry is an amazing serious, physical, & comedic actor. One of the best coming from Canada. Jerry (played by actor Cary Elwes better known as Wesley in, "The Princess Bride" did a wonderful job as the "second fiddle". I liked how the "bloopers" are shown at the end of the movie. Hilarious! Glad you were able to watch this film!
Great reaction and great movie bro. Such an important message too. We all get caught up in "The American dream" type of thing and bury ourselves in our careers. We usually do it for the right reason, to care for our families and give them what they need but we get so caught up we let it dominate our life. Hard work is important but family is too. The one thing you can never get back is time. As far as Jerry goes, just go to Boston and find someone else bro. You don't need this headache lol. You will never win.
yes at one time people could smoke anywhere on the planes, then they changed it to smoking only in the rear, then banned smoking on the planes, altogether. "then they banned smoking on the planes"
Funny story, I was about 5 or 6 when this came out. After watching,I started running into the wall after wall. When asked what I was doing, I said I'm kicking my ass, do ya mind?! Lol
The last comedic actor who could even compete physically is probably Michael Richards(Kramer from Seinfeld). Today??? Maybe Jason Sudekis could pull off 1/4 of f Carey’s antics
If that was true about her being 17 then the marriage wasn't legal in the 1st place so he doesn't owe her a dime Because if the prenuo wasn't legal then neither was a marriage license
Jim Carrey actually beat the shit out of himself in the bathroom scene at the behest of the directors and producers. He wanted it to be as authentic as possible. Yes, some is exaggerated, but he did in fact, beat himself up.
Steve Martin is awesome as a comedien. But he has a career now as a musician world class banjo, and has set up an award to encourage more people to play.
So glad you enjoyed this great comedy. Another comedy that almost nobody has reacted to is: “Blades of Glory” with Will Farrell. I hope you review it! Keep up the great channel!
If you see Dumb and Dumber, starring Jim Carrey and written and directed by the Farrelly brothers, and you like it, then you have to see another film called Kingpin. It's the Farrellys' magnum opus.
Should point out, as much as we cheer for him in the end. You do have to wonder if he can really change his ways. I mean maybe with his family yes, but being a lair is a hard thing to change. I know first hand. My mom was one, and I became one. My mom sadly never stopped. It took me a long time to break the cycle and change myself.
If you haven't done the Lethal Weapon movies yet or haven't seen them, you definitely need to check them out!! And a song you should react to is Elton John's from the Honky Chateau album, Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters. Absolutely beautiful song, 1 of those rare gems!! It's about NYC
Jim Carrey is such an animated comedic that it's hard to find people who can match his very personalized style. Robin Williams, Rowan Atkinson, Chris Farley and Martin Lawrence are all known for their brilliant physical comedy. Jim Carrey stands out though.
“That’s just something ugly people say” and “I’d have got him 10” cracks me up every time I hear it😂
Kabir Pleeeeease react to Episode 1 of "the Silent Nim"...
For me, it's, "Mr. Reed, do we have a settlement?" Followed by, "NOO!!!"
"I hold myself in contempt!" I want to weep every time I see that scene.
"I've had better" has always been a line I want someone in real life to use, and survive.
😂😂 Challenge accepted! I'll be ready at 8!
Someone has used it in real life.
It's not a great thing to hear, I can tell you that much.

One of my favorites! Loved when the judge asked why he objected, and he said, "Cause it's devastating to my case!". Lol, I love this kind of humor.
"I'm kicking my ASS,"!!! "Do you mind!!" Love that scene 😂😂
Great one.. another one.., IT WAS ME!! 😂😂
Liar Liar was one of my few VHS purchases I made lol. Love this movie. Nothing can stop the CLAWWW!!
I still have that vhs! Well, my parents do now lol

33:51 Jim Carrey's character Fire Marshall Bill from In Living Color is in the background.
I love Liar Liar. Always hilarious.

This is definitely a good movie from back in the 90s
90s movies hit different
Almost all my favorite movies are from the late 90's. Saving Private Ryan, Fight Club ect. You could go on and on.

He *sure* looks different... 😐
Lying is a primary job requirement for being a lawyer or a politician ,who are after all the final and most toxic stage of development of lawyers
"I'm kicking my ass! Do you mind?!"

That kills me
The 2 ace Ventura movies are classic and his first big hits. So those are worthy of a reaction as well
What a funny movie!

Robin Williams in the early days was unmatched and an inspiration for jim Carrey.
Great reaction. This is one of the funniest movies. One of our favorites!

Me, Myself & Irene is funny as hell. Morgan Freeman stars with Jim in Bruce Almighty and you will laugh your butt off!
Back then they did not have the laws about phone use in the car.
Can't think of anyone younger, but to me Jim Carrey has always reminded me of Steve Martin.
Ace Ventura and it's sequel When Nature Calls and the Mask are some movies you definitely need to try!
This is a really fun family movie. And Jim Carey is always entertaining to watch.
Yes, Man is an underrated Jim Carey gem
The step dad is the same actor who was in The Princess Bride. Wesley! As you wish.
The boyfriend was the same actor who played Wesley in "Princess Bride." I don't think you noticed.
26:38 Jim Carrey is so good at the gag, his best is in Dumb and Dumber
He is killer in that. Plays the character perfectly
The only one that comes close to Jim Carrey is the late John Ritter. If you haven't seen it, check out Three's Company (US version). It's one of the best sitcoms of all time. Pure comedic magic.
Three’s Company is still one of my all time favorite (now classic) show!
At first I was like - ' Why does he keep calling him Fletcher!?'
A IMDB search later : That's why! (still doesn't fit but whatever)
Great movie, but there's one glaring flaw in it: Jim's client being a minor at the time of the marriage doesn't just nullify the pre-nup, it nullifies the marriage entirely, so she gets nothing from her "husband's" estate.

Don't forget Ace Ventura: Pet Detective!
In your spare time, watch the bloopers/outtakes from this movie. It is pretty funny
However, marriage is a legal contract as well. Her lying about the age would not only nullify the prenup but also the marriage. Therefore, they would have never been married.
Dumb and Dumber is hilarious. Thanks for all you do!
Check out his “Ace Ventura. Pet Detective”.

You need to see the Ace Ventura's too then
Ace Ventura Pet Detective. Great Jim Carrey movie, and one of the first that put him on the map.
I love the AceVentura when nature calls. It’s so silly but it makes me laugh.
YOU NEED to see Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and it's sequel!
Probably my favorite Jim Carrey movie.
Btw, I loved The Truman Show. Think it was one of his best serious roles.
Love this movie. Jim Carry is an amazing serious, physical, & comedic actor. One of the best coming from Canada.

Don’t know if you watched it b4 but the movie you should react is the 1994 The Crow

Wow. I figured but never really knew for sure
I didn't see Fight Club in your Playlist. Have you seen it yet? Another good one is The Usual Suspects!

Such a fun sweet movie 😊
I LOVE ROM COMS!!!! ESPECIALLY THIS ONE!!!
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is a more serious jim Carrey movie. It's really kinda beautiful
You should watch The Mask:)
Me myself and Irene is one of the funniest yet sweetest movies I’ve seen. Please watch that one soon. You won’t regret it!
The sort of film thats great when hungover
Me Myself and Irene is another hilarious Jim Carrey movie.
There's no one like Carrey, though Steve Martin might have been an influence of his, I bet.
Omg I enjoyed watching this with you so much. It felt like my first time seeing it lol 😂❤

"By the *Manson* family!" 😅 💀
holy fuck as many times as i seen this movie i never noticed fletcher on the baggage belt at the air port! how tf did i miss that all those times
If you liked the Truman Show... I always recommend The Majestic
Loving new intro/ outtro
Have you seen The Princess Bride?
Ace Ventura Pet Detective is probably his best known movie. I'm not a fan of the Mask or Dumb and Dumber.
Kabir, React to Me, Myself and Irene. That one is really funny too. Hope you can get to it at some point. You won't be disappointed.
Before Jim, there was Robin. Williams.

Jim Carrey’s silly movies are fun, but his best film is “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. It is a genius art film also starring Kate Winslet.
Poor Cary Elwes. Had better luck in Princes Bride and Robin Hood: Men in Tides.
JEFF was HERE.. 🏆

Yo labor you gotta check out “yes man” haha it is hilarious one of Jim’s more recent movies
Dumb and dumber next 100% it's by far his best movie
Jennifer Tilly voices Bonnie on Family Guy
I think Jerry Lewis, back in the day was somewhat like Jim!
Jim Carrey's movie me myself and Irene is one of his movies that you got to see
Kabir you've to checkout Jim Carrey Me, Myself & Irene funny movie.
i could’ve seen robin williams possibly playing this role
Have you not seen Dumb and Dumber???
