Audience Member I know it's a bit long so some people's attention spans will be put to the test but I thought it was a sweet movie and for the most part well written. Jim Carrey is certainly a great actor. He proves himself time and time again. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review M H I wanted to give this film a chance but it slogged along like an old steam engine on a very steap grade. The cinematography was beautiful and the locations perfect. The story had potential but instead settled for a contrived attempt to recreate a Capra movie. The main character never fully endears himself to the audience because we never get a chance to know who is really is or was. We get a hint that he is a B movie writer who served in the war and got a degree through the GI bill but that’s it. When he goes missing his real family is never shown looking for him. He’s depicted as a nobody who just happens to be the doppelgänger of a small town Medal of Honor recipient. There could have been a twist or a big reveal as his real backstory comes into view but no. This movie ends up like the main character’s screenplays. A B movie. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Fran B Am just now watching this movie after all of these years. It is fabulous! Jim Carrey, and everyone else, did a great job! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review ARNI S One of the best feel good movies I've seen in a long time. Loved the cast some incredible great actors. I liked Jim Carrey and his role he played. I think this was one of his best performances. I realize the movies release time was not the best. I believe if Warner Brothers studio would have waited longer the movie would have done a lot better. I recommend everyone who'd like to watch and up lifting movie to check it out. My spouse and I found it to be just that. We all need a movie with more then just one hero. This movie will provide just that, again loved all the older actors the real pros of Hollywood, who made it a great movie. Right up there with, It's A Wonderful Life... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Keegan K I thought the movie was slow. It had an interesting concept behind the movie, but it was just very long. The movie was very patriotic feeling. I was not a big fan and will not be rewatching this movie. I think there are better movies worth my time and more importantly funnier Jim Carrey movies. Yes, I understand this was a more emotional Jim Carrey movie, but it is not up my alley. 3/5. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review Gwendolyn I A wonderful dramatic role for Jim Carrey and his performance was excellent. You can see his character’s transformation from superficial studio writer, worried about his hustle and trying to create a hero on paper, to a man who becomes the hero, who stands up for truth, even if he ends up losing his livelihood. He is immersed in the lives of real people who suffered tremendous loss, and rallied around a man they thought was one of their own lost sons. The scene with Martin Landau taking down his son’s picture and gold star gets me every time I see it. The underlying theme of government or deep state with a political agenda attempting to control thought and expression of the American public is just as relevant today as it was in the late 1940’s and 1950’s.
