Even if Jim Carrey’s movie, “I Love You Philip Morris" appeared to be the kind of movie which makes you wonder how it is going to be marketed, it proved to have made a great job at the Sundance Film Festival, where it premiered. The feature talks about a fragile, absurd and gay romantic biography and it’s exactly Carrey’s way to march ahead his oddities.
The story of the movie is based on a real-life character. Steve, who was abandoned at birth, becomes a Texas family man and lawman who tries to substitute the lost years of his life as a heterosexual by throwing himself into multiple lives as a man and a lover. The movie’s substrate shows that Steve only tries to find his real identity.
So Steve reaches to find joy in the high-gay lifestyle. He starts to go on vacations more often, he fills his closets with accessories and spends his money on stuff he doesn’t really need. But above all these, he runs into his first boyfriend, who seems to be really expensive. Yet, Steve doesn’t stumble into the situation and begins to commit a lot of frauds as to not give up his new ways of living.
But soon Steve reaches to the pokey life where he falls in love with Philip Morris, a fellow player. After they complement each other, the two start to have a romantic relationship, in which Steve is the working type and Philip holds down to earth.
Yet, we mustn’t forget the fact that “I Love You Philip Morris” is Carrey’s production, so we’ll see funny and ironic scenes throughout the whole movie.
