Review of The Majestic

I think Jim Carrey is a much more diverse actor than he's given credit for. He's A comedian yes, but he's also good for both biopics ("Man on the Moon") and dramas ("The Truman Show" and others). (I'm still waiting for "Mission: Impossible 8" with Carrey as Tom Cruise.) I remember watching this when I was younger, and I only really remembered the movie theater part, but this movie is amazingly more complex than I recalled. Laurie Holden is beautiful as Adele and while I didn't much like the love triangle going on with a dead guy, I'll let it slide this one time. Some of the other cityfolk were great, like James Whitmore and Brent Biscoe. Matt Damon did the voice of Luke Trimble and I kinda fangirl'd a little at that. (Bruce Campbell and Cliff Curtis in the film-in-a-film were awesome.) Overall it's a very solid film, even though it was really long.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, they didn't really explain how he was so good at piano. :/
