I Love You, Phillip Morris

Synopsis:

Steve Russell is a small-town cop. Bored with his bland lifestyle, Russell turns to fraud as a means of shaking things up. Before long, Russell’s criminal antics have landed him behind bars, where he encounters the charismatic Phillip Morris. Smitten, Russell devotes his entire life to being with Morris regardless of the consequences.

Quick Thoughts:

Frankly, I’m uncertain why “I Love You, Phillip Morris” didn’t make a bigger stir when it was released. Not only are there some incredible A-List actors leading the film, it’s quite hysterical! The situations and various escapes that Phillip Morris got himself into/out of seem like they’re utterly fictional and absurd – but yet it’s based on a true story! Although the writers have confessed that some events were changed around in the overall timeline. Jim Carrey is giving some of his best acting in this queer crime film, that’s almost more a queer comedy. Heck, even the cinematic elements themselves are quite well done. Everything about the film screams success. And yet it’s a film that most don’t even know about. So if you have not yet seen this queer crime film, I highly suggest you go find yourself a copy today!
