Jim Carrey At His Best In These Three Comedy Films

Jim Carrey At His Best In These Three Comedy Films

By:


Jim Carrey has been a comedic staple in the film biz since the early 1980s. Although he is most widely known for his acting in movies, Carrey was also quite successful on TV as well. Carrey certainly is at his best when he is making audiences laugh but as of late he has tried his hand in drama movies like The Truman Show. Based on his recent performances I believe he can.

To discover some of Carrey's brightest comedic performances it is necessary to take a trip back in time. We will only be discussing the films that Carrey was a leading man.

Dumb and Dumber (1994)
This movie is quite possibly one of the funniest movies ever made if you like silly humor. Jim Carrey is Llyod Christmas who is a down on his luck limo driver. When he realizes his limo passanger left her briefcase at the airport, he and his best pal Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) take a journey across the USA to return it. The travels that the two friends go on has to be seen to be believed.

Liar Liar (1997)
Fletcher Reed, a lawyer who can't seem to tell the truth, is the character played by Carrey in this film. When his son makes a birthday wish that his dad can't lie for an entire day, Fletcher has a heck of a time trying to keep that wish. The most amusing part of the whole movie is watching a lawyer try not to lie once within a day. The movie also stars Maura Tierney as Fletcher's wife Audrey. This film was creatively directed by Tom Shadyac (Evan Almighty, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry).

The Cable Guy (1996)
Some find this movie on the weird side but if you take it at face value it is very funny. Carrey plays the role of the cable guy amazingly well as he tried to get to know each of his customers and their personal business. He had a very sad and quite childhood and was raised by a television set. The movie gets interesting after the cable guy hooks up a new customer, Steven (Matthew Broderick) with free cable expecting a friendship in return. Broderick and Carrey make a hilarious comedic team in this one.

Jim Carey has been acting for over a quarter of a century and acted in over 30 films. This article is just a snapshot into that great career. Carrey is currently working on a new film to be released in 2011 called Mr. Poppers Penguins. Mr. Poppers Penguins centers around a man and the six penguins that he inherits. His professional life turns upside down when he turns his apartment into a winter wonderland.
