This is without doubt a one man show. Cast most other actors in the lead role and the movie may well have sunk without trace, but with Carrey as "Ace", you've got the makings of a comedy classic. The humour is definitely not for everybody, and if you express your love for the film I guarantee that some people will think you nuts. Nevertheless, if absurdity's your bag, you will almost certainly enjoy this.

Other actors fade into insignificance when confronted by Carrey's comic genius. The one person who almost manages to keep pace with him is Sean Young, who displays a hitherto untapped flair for comedy in a VERY strange role. Then again, the entire movie can be seen as 'strange'. The football players also do well.

There is little attempt to make the 'plot' at all logical, but that hardly matters when you can't stop laughing. Critical dissection of this film is totally inappropriate; you either love it or hate it. Frankly, I love it. Kudos to Hollywood for putting money into such an odd idea and making the then-unknown Carrey into an international star. This is a gem.

BEST LINE: "Be sure that you {get the plumbing checked}. If I'd been drinking out of the toilet, I might've been killed."
