If you were expecting an "In Living Color" Jim Carrey, you will be sorely disappointed with Kidding. This is an absolutely grand dark comedy with an amazing supporting cast with Catherine Keener and the incredible Frank Langella. Kidding explores the reality behind a children's television icon. The face portrayed on the kids show is starkly contrasted by the reality of a man whose life is in pieces. Carrey's portrayal of "Jeff", the man at the center of the chaos, grasps at things and makes decisions that might seen good ideas at the moment, but may well cause more destruction down the road. Carrey is masterful playing a very broken Jeff admidst a life that is on the trajectory of coming undone.
Just as a second warning, this is a dark comedy, and a very good one at that. I cannot wait to see where the season takes us.
