Writing duo Glenn Ficarra and John Requa made their directing debut with this misguided comedy. After a married police officer gets rejected by his birth mother, he realizes he's gay which makes him to become a successful con man through which he finds the love of his life. It's based on a true story but nothing in this film seems credible to suggest so from the tone to the performances. While Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor are fearless in their performances, they are also the problem for the film to work, specially Carrey who's outrageous in this preposterous story. Writers and directors Ficarra and Requa seems to be more interested in an outrageous comedy than bringing the human drama of a brilliant con artist. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
