I Love You Phillip Morris Reviews

With a solid script and daring performances, the film is enjoyable and will inevitably become a cult classic in spite of some of its uneven gags. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 2, 2022

Observed at a distance you cannot deny the cruel grace of this ridiculous tragic-comedy. [Full review in Spanish]

| Aug 10, 2022

A comedy that's all the funnier for the laughs carrying weight, a drama that's all the slicker for having a lighter side, a bit of a mess but a really fun mess...

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 19, 2021

Hilariously forthright about Steven's sexuality in ways queer problem dramas rarely begin to suggest, I Love You Phillip Morris lights a path for American gay cinema beyond niche-oriented indies and bigger-budget films about martyred role models.

Just the kind of role Carrey needed to stir up some controversy and deliver himself another chance to be seen in a slightly new light on the big screen.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 29, 2020

Far too tragic to be funny and far too funny to be tragic.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 11, 2020

Neither the filmmakers nor actor Carrey appear to be able to make any distinction between when Steve is full of baloney and when he's sincere.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 16, 2019

... if you want to enjoy a comedy that handles a traditional little love story with tremendous cheek, do not miss I Love You Phillip Morris. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 21, 2018

The movie wants us to overlook its implausibility by insisting that it's all true. We believe it, we just don't care.

| Feb 8, 2018

[E]asily one of the best comedies of the last several years.

| Sep 15, 2013

Jim Carrey succeeds but the film is too mean-spirited and its supporting players too one-dimensional to make this story worthwhile.

| Original Score: 2.0/5 | Jun 30, 2013

Even when the movie's doing something stupid, you just bemusedly shake your head and dive right back in, forgiving everything, even if you don't know why. Isn't that what love's all about?

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 22, 2013

...it's the film's fearless go-for broke style which makes I Love You Phillip Morris such a success.

| Oct 24, 2012

Jim Carrey brings dynamo force to the story of a brilliant con man and the guy he loved

| Aug 12, 2011

ILYPM is quite good and it's a shame that this film was shunted around the backburners for so long.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 2, 2011

Above all, it is the wonderful performances of Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor as a couple of misfits for whom love is everything, that stay with us

| Jul 31, 2011

I'm describing I Love You Phillip Morris as an inferior version of Catch Me If You Can. It's trying to tell a similar story in a similar vein but it just doesn't work.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 11, 2011

Inspirada en una increíble historia real, esta comedia de Jim Carrey no es para nada la típica comedia de Jim Carrey, aunque haga uso de sus habituales recursos histriónicos. Una comedia romántica absurda, irreverente y gay.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 17, 2011

But truth be told, no film has conveyed true love quite as convincingly in a very long time.

| May 15, 2011

A remarkably strong debut...

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 18, 2011
