Heh. I just watched this movie again the other day. It is a classic. Great movie. It’s especially eerie at the end where the Carrey is talking about how TV, telephone, and computer will all be integrated, etc. I was thinking we got there even faster than the script writers probably figured back in 1996.

It was a lousy movie and not a classic comedy. They guy was badly mentally ill with an evil twisted mind, ending up trying to commit suicide. Hardly a comedy in any book.

As I recall it started kinda funny but seemed to totally lose direction like they just made up the last bit as they were making it or something. It’s been a while though and I’m pretty sure I was high at the time.

Yeah, I was hoping for Larry too.

I thought that was the name but wasn’t certain and too tired to look it up.

You like black comedy, try “Very Bad Things”. Hit-the-pause-button funny, in a dark and twisted way. My wife and I heartily recommended it to some friends, and they kinda backed away from us next time they saw us. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

Yep! Me!
Loved the movie. My husband and I saw it on DVD a few weeks ago. I was unaware that it had received poor reviews.
The karoke scene was hilarious.

I’ve heard good things about VBT! My husband liked it very much, so I’ll check it out. Thanks for the tip.

Just be in the correct frame of mind when you watch it! A more mordant comedy has never been filmed. Sick stuff, but once you accept it as a truly twisted morality tale, it’s side-splitting.

Good Movie, but this thread is about 12 years too late.
