Review: I like this movie more for the concept than the actual execution. Moments of brilliance are mixed with an equal amount of frustrating scenes. The drama don't mesh well with the funny sitcom type moments that Jim Carrey can handle so well. Carrey has proved that he can pull off excellent dramatic acting in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", but in this first dramatic role, he hadn't acquired the necessary skills yet. Ed Harris helps carry the dramatic scenes he shares in the movie.

"He was born in front of a live audience."
4 out of 5 Stars
