I staggered out of this shameless, interminable movie feeling as if I'd been force-fed a ton of mealy, artificially sweetened baby food.

The first part of the movie will strike some viewers as inspiring and others as manipulative; at any rate, it's clearly the better half, since the final act is patently false and a queer whitewash of a tragic chapter in US history.

Darabont is seeking to recapture the spirit of Frank Capra - with Carrey in the role of a James Stewart or Gary Cooper. Yet even though Darabont shares Capra's dewy-eyed optimism, his film's sluggish pace means he lacks Capra's screwball zest.

[It] aims to be an inspiring tale about freedom, passion, and conviction, but with its slow pace and predictable plot and dialogue, it falters into sappiness and forced lessons.

If this film were confectionery, it would rot every tooth in your head and leave you with a sickening stomach cramp.

Jim Carrey seems a bit out of his depth in this often-engaging anti-HUAC film.
