This is not my favorite Jim Carrey film, but it is funny. It is a little dated now, with Dan Marino in it. I can’t say too much bad about this movie, as I have watched it several times and it continues to entertain me. The tone is set very early, well I guess from the opening scene, when Ace is delivering a package labeled fragile and is kicking it, stomping on it, etc… I have also seen better films with Courtney Cox in them; this was not one of her better roles or acting jobs. The good definitely out weighs the bad of this film and if you enjoy Jim Carrey in some of his other comedy roles you will like this one.
