Better Movie #36

[Jeritron]

Truman Show was the first movie where Jim Carrey stepped out of the wacky persona he had and showed a bit more range.
I think at the time it helped establish him as a classic movie star. I wish his serious projects would have all turned out like that afterwards. None of them really panned out as well, and his comedy roles took a step down as well.
It kind of stinks, because Jim Carrey has still had an iconic movie career, but it could have been so much more if he kept starring in movies this good.

I'd have to say it's my 2nd favorite Carrey movie that's for sure I always thought he was underrated as a dramatic actor. He hasn't been done anything really that serious with the exception of the Number 23 which he was still very good in too bad the movie itself stunk. Now he's stuck in roles where he's trying to be almost a hybrid if ya get what I sayin.
