Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

 ... you can learn from:

I Love You Phillip Morris (2010)

Steven: Sometimes you have to shave a little 
off the puzzle piece just to make it fit.

A happy 10 to Glenn Ficarra and John Requa's maybe-a-little-ahead-of-its-time gay rom-com starring Jim Carrey as a compulsive liar who falls, like we all once fell, for Ewan McGregor. I was really hoping to re-watch it here before this anniversary but haven't found the chance -- I loved the film when it came out though! Have you seen it lately? I could see this one aging like wine or like milk -- not sure which way it's gone but I'm dying to check for myself. Especially those Rodrigo Santoro scenes...

Haven't seen it since it was in theaters but what a gloriously bonkers movie.

Looking back at reviews on rotten tomatoes. Straight people really telling on themselves calling it "implausible" and "insincere" like those are criticisms.

Loved that film. JC is so brilliant. He rides the line in between parody and method, amazing.
