Two laughs: the Football Referee song and Emile Hirsch’s performance. Remainder a total bust.

First viewing since... 1997? Carrey goes all in on the Jerry Lewis rubber-face, and it pays off more often than not. As a perfomance piece, there is value. And there are a few nicely eccentric decisions, such as, apropos of nothing, setting a scene at a Cannibal Corpse gig. But to say time has not been kind to this film is an understatement. The question: will this come to be seen as a kind of transphobic Birth of a Nation-esque film maudit, or has it attained that status already?

Very tempted to click the "I've seen this film before" tab.
