This movie was so cute. Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) is doing time in a Texas prison for some con jobs when he meets fellow inmate Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor), who is transferring to a new section that day. Steven is not about to let the penal institution come between him and his true love, however. This leads to a series of prison escapes, falsified jobs, and truly outrageous cons, all in the name of love.
This is based on a true story. That part is hilarious. I don't know how much of it is true but even a tenth would be insane. Jim Carrey is fantastic here, hearkening back to his early comedic successes. Ewan McGregor is always good. Together, they were so adorable I was actually a little sad they're not a real-life couple. Watch this movie. You will not regret it.
