Although not one of my favourite Jim Carrey movies I can still appreciate that he is the best comedic actor of all time and it’s not even close. The scene with all of them laughing in the boardroom meeting is very good. #bringbackblooperreels

Jim Carrey ofc has a very specific acting style and you need to be in the mood for it so need to rewatch this. Did really like this though. That being said, turns out I’ve already watched this and remember absolutely lovingggggg it.
