Got it from my local library


It's not as bad as some people say it is. But it is not good. It might be kind of enjoyable but you might probably only feel that way because Jim Carrey is in it and you know who he is. It has the feel of like, some after school special type thing from the 80s. It's about 47 minutes in duration. I didn't realize it until the movie was over. It felt longer than the 47 minutes (cause it can get pretty boring) but not so much longer that I didn't notice it was a short film. I don't know if I wish that the movie were longer but would at least get better or relieved it was finally done.

Judging from the cover you will think that this is a "Jim Carrey movie" but it's not really. He's just in it, that's all. He's probably secondary character in the movie and the only thing I found slightly funny was when he was doing impersonations of different kinds of laughter people have.

The chubby girl was the main character. I didn't even realize she was chunky until they made a thing of mentioning it. I thought she was attractive in a way, but anyway...

If you are a hardcore Jim Carrey fan you might want to get it for completion's sake, watch it once so you can say you did, and then put it next to your other Jim Carrey movies and never look at it again.
