I know what you're thinking, this totally does not look like it could be a true story. Strangely enough, it is! Jim Carrey takes the role of Steven Russel while Ewan McGregor plays his lover, Phillip Morris. Steven Russel was once a happily married man this all changed after several key incidents in his life - incidents that completely changed his life. He henceforth decided to live his life the way he wanted to - to live life lavishly as an open homosexual. He did this by any means necessary, even if it meant breaking the law. Russel becomes skilled at frauds and cons but eventually ends up in the big house. Being sent to jail, not a total loss as Russel meets the sensitive and loving Phillip Morris. Russel then devotes his life to freeing Morris as well as providing him with a wonderful, perfect life. This however leads to con after con after con after con . . . An interesting comedy with undertones of drama and splashes of romance.
At first when you watch it you'll think its really weird - I know I did. However, don't stop watching it (especially when it gets to a really awkward part - you'll know what I mean). Truly entertaining; a unique and refreshing story.
