Agreed, he's absolutely a great actor!!

However, Silence of the Lambs was, without a doubt, THE most boring movie I've ever seen!!!

More boring than this one?

You may have a point there. Never liked Jim Carrey movies.

One of my favourite actors, who I've admired for a long time. My brother had the honour of working with him on two movies, some years ago.

He's one of my favorites partly because he has such 'range'. He can play characters that are total opposites and everything in between. One of my favorite roles was the movie 'Instinct'

Yet i'd guess the Jim Carrey Movies i liked didn't fare as well as D & D, Ace Ventura etc:

Eternal Sunshine if the Spotless Mind, The Number 23, The Truman Show may have done ok cause many may have just seen the surface humor and missed the subtext.

SF folks, if you haven't seen Shadowlands, please do. It's great, not just for his performance but for the whole thing.
