I was told not to watch this film because I wouldn't enjoy Jim Carrey's "dark" performance. But I love Carrey, so I did anyway. And I don't regret it. It's not a brilliant film for many reasons, but it's also not that bad. I didn't find Carrey's performance particularly dark, I just saw it as a twist on his typically idiotic funny man role, but there was still some very funny moments in it so it was hard not to enjoy. Matthew Broderick, however, cannot act. His performance is dull and terribly monotonous which was the only real downside to this film for me.
