The Three Funniest Comedy Films from the Goofy Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey has been a comedy genius in the film biz since the early 1980s. He has been a huge comedic contributor to movies but also made us laugh on television too. Carrey certainly is at his best when he is making audiences laugh but recently he has tried his hand in drama movies like The Truman Show. Based on his recent performances I believe he can.
Let us however take a trip back in time through Carrey’s movie acting career and discuss the three most entertaining comedy movies he has starred in. The only movies that will be featured are ones that Carrey played a leading role in.
Dumb and Dumber (1994)
Jim Carrey is at his absolute best in this ridiculously funny comedy. Carrey is Llyod Christmas, a limo driver who doesnt have a lot to live for, with best friend Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels). After Llyod retrieves a briefcase left by limo passenger Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly), he and his best pal set out to return it to its rightful owner. When they find out that it is filled with a lot of money they decide to write a few IOU’s and borrow some money. Harry and Llyod are ridiculously funny from beginning to end of this movie.
Liar Liar (1997)
Fletcher Reed, a lawyer who can’t seem to tell the truth, is the personality played by Carrey in this film. When his son makes a birthday wish that his dad can’t tell a lie for 24 hours, Fletcher has a hard time trying to fulfill that wish. The most amusing part of the whole movie is watching a lawyer try not to lie once within a day. The movie also stars Maura Tierney as Fletcher’s wife Audrey. This film was creatively directed by Tom Shadyac (Evan Almighty, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry).
Bruce Almighty (2003)
Jim Carrey plays Bruce Nolen who is a down on his luck guy with a gorgeous girlfriend Grace Connelly (Jennifer Aniston). After complaining about God (Morgan Freeman) one too many times, God decides to give Bruce a shot to see if he can play God better. Once Bruce realizes that he has ultimate power he has quite a time exploring what he is capable of. The fun wears off when he comes to understand just how much work being God is. Carrey plays this role beautifully.
These films are just a snapshot into the 30 plus excellent films that Jim Carrey has been involved in over the past 25 plus years. Currently Carrey is work on Mr. Poppers Penguins, a comedy to be released in 2011.. This movie is a comedy about a business professional who inherits six penguins and converts his apartment into a winter wonderland causing his life to fall apart.
