Jim Carrey At His Best
27 December 2002 | by (NYC & Vancouver) – See all my reviews

One of the most incredibly honest family dramas I've ever seen. Exceptional writing and acting. Jim Carrey's (pre-fame) dramatic acting is his best to-date, in my opinion. This little film is underrated and should be aired more frequently, and at least released on video/dvd.
