Every Jim Carrey Film Ever Made is a film starring Jim Carrey. It was a combination of his older films, with small sections of each put together to make one, flowing movie. This was possible because nearly all of Carrey's followed a plot that was similar to all of his other movies, which allowed the movie to flow in an almost perfect plot. Made in 2009, this film had the critics raving about its "Unorignality" and "Characters that were in Jim's previous movies".
Cast[edit | edit source]
The film had a varied cast, with only one constant: Jim Carrey. Besides him, there were nearly sixty different characters who showed up a few times in the movie each. Some positions remained a constant, however, each time they had a different actor to play the role.
- <insert name here>/MAIN CHARACTER - Jim Carrey
- LOVE INTEREST - A good looking woman
- KID WHO WANTS MOMMY/DADDY TO BE HAPPY - Child actor
Plot[edit | edit source]
<insert name here>, played by Jim Carrey, is a cynical and flawed individual who the audience nonetheless has a sort of liking for because of his charm and uncanny ability to make you laugh. He lives a tedious, boring life, and seems rather disappointed with the way things are tunning out in his life. However, one day an event occurs where someone philosophical lectures him, or he discovers a special object resulting in him being forced to undertake a drastic lifestyle change for a prolonged amount of time.
During this period of time, the protagonist goes through a series of wacky, and sometimes horrifying, adventures as he begins to adjust to his ghange. At this point he has nearly lost his girlfriend/wife LOVE INTEREST and son/daughter, CUTE KID WHO WANTS MOMMY AND/OR DADDY TO BE HAPPY, to someone else who is a smarter, better looking individual due to his change in personality. Then his life has a series of slapstick moments and awkward situations intended to provoke laughter and enjoyment in viewers. Although reluctant/sceptical at first, <insert name here> realises INSERT IDEA HERE, and ends up a better, happier, more rounded individual. As he learns how to adjust, he gets LOVE INTEREST back, and everyone continues living their lives in a better, happier way then when the movie began.
Production[edit | edit source]
Jim Carrey, in the dire need of a popularity boost after his last horrible movie, Yes Man, realized that he had to make a comeback with a funny, original movie. He contacted several scriptwriters to see if they had any potential movies for him to star in, but they had none. Jim, now without any good ideas for films, was left with one option: making his own. Jim, being uncreative, was low on ideas. He thought of nothing worth attempting to make, until he stumbled onto one golden idea: Since almost all of my movies follow the exact same plot, why don't I just take bits of them and make it one movie? It did seem like a genius idea, so Jim went ahead with the movie production.
The film was made in about twenty minutes, by having clips from every single Jim Carrey movie, most notably Bruce Almighty, Yes Man, and Liar Liar, put together into one sequence. It worked unbelievably well, considering nearly all Jim Carrey movies follow the exact same plot with similar problems, solutions, and jokes. Jim himself was the executive producer, and organized the whole movie. However, one flaw he did not notice was the fact that his name and hair style was different in every movie, but production continued.
The film's budget was $ 23,000,000. Only about $50 was used in the production of the movie, and that was used to buy sandwiches from Subway, drinks, and a couple bag of chips for the lunch break they took right after making half of the movie.
Reception[edit | edit source]
Critics have raved over the movie in positive and negative ways. Many have found this style of movie making fantastic and creative, but others found it stale and unamusing. One claimed "Utterly fantastic. It was amazing how Jim had so many different hair styles and names in one movie," and another said "I think I even saw the Riddler in there!" However, other critics, in fact, all but those two, gave it less praise. "He was driving a Beamer, then a van that looks like a dog, then a Ferrari... I think I'm going to puke!"
The trailers brought high expectations for the viewers, and in its first weekend brought a total profit of 22 million dollars. People everywhere were sneaking into the theaters, resulting in ticket checks at the doors of the theaters. However, most of these crazed and excited fans were quite letdown with the performance. Also, many went nearly insane due to sudden changes in name and hair style. Many had disappointing things to say, such as "Haven't I seen these characters before?" and "That was a good ben Stiller movie." The film company sold eight copies of the movie on DVD.
