Summary Jim Carrey pairs up with Ewan McGregor in this film based on a true story. Carrey stars as a family man who is sent to prison and falls in love with his cellmate, Phillip Morris (McGregor). When Morris is released from prison, his new love embarks on a series of escape attempts to reunite with Morris. BAD SANTA scribes John Requa and Glenn Ficarra return to black comedy with this darkly funny directorial debut.

Less of a comedy than a hilarious tragedy.

Funny, sometimes tender and ultimately unsettling black comedy.

Story and style are all over the place, rendering it somewhat inaccessible. Admittedly, the whole film is in a bit of an aesthetic dither, which will confound many viewers.

Doesn't seem to know where it's going or why it's going there, and the result is an unusual movie that's entertaining but not particularly satisfying.
