'Not For All Tastes,' As They Say
23 October 2006
What a wacky movie! It gets most of the "stars" in the rating here for the entertainment value of the film. As low-brow as it is in spots, you never get bored watching it.

In a nutshell, Jim Carrey plays a schizophrenic Rhode Island state trooper. There are lots of outrageous scenes in this film, most of them in the first half. Some, such as with the cows or Carrey taking a poop on a neighbor's lawn, are memorable in a perverse way.

Rene Zellweger is too profane to begin with, but she settles down as the story goes on. She and Carrey sure make an "odd couple."

We get the PC baloney here of the black characters all being smarter than the white folks. The black kids cannot speak a sentence, however, without some profanity it it. The people who made this film are known for their sleazy comedies.

That overall sleazy feel to this dark-slapstick comedy makes me hesitate to recommend it, but if a lot of "language" doesn't bother you - or dildo jokes, believe-it-or-not, this will entertain you.
