#90 - I Love You Phillip Morris (2009)

Hey everyone!

I've been fine, just busy.  I'm in Kalamazoo, visiting my friends Dan and Marianne and Kim and Shawn, having a great time, playing board games and visiting and generally having a great time.  Also, tomorrow, we're going to see David Sedaris reading at Miller Auditorium, which is quasi-the main reason I've come to Kalamazoo at this particular juncture.

I'm on my Spring Break from school (much needed) and you can guarantee that later on in the week, I'll have more updates to catch up from these days I've missed.  Today, Dan and I watched I Love You Phillip Morris as a pre-street.  The movie stars Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey as men who meet in prison and begin a relationship.

There are some funny parts throughout, and the performances by the leads are pretty believable, even if some of the chicanery (whether true or exaggerated or not) is not, as much, but it builds up to a fascinating, interesting story.  Exaggeration can be good, especially when the heart of the story has so much... heart.

Not the best movie ever, but it certainly has its moments.  I recommend it for a bit of pretty light viewing.  Certainly, don't try to make it something it's not.

Score: 8/10
