Movie - 'I Love You Phillip Morris' is the improbable but true story of a spectacularly charismatic conman's journey from small-town businessman to flamboyant white-collar criminal, who repeatedly finds himself in trouble with the law and on the lam, brilliantly escaping from the Texas prison system on four separate occasions – all in the name of love.
Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) leads a seemingly average life – an organ player in the local church, happily married to Debbie (Leslie Mann), and a member of the local police force. That is until he has a severe car accident that leads him to the ultimate epiphany: he's gay and he's going to live life to the fullest – even if he has to break the law to do it. Taking on an extravagant lifestyle, Steven turns to cons and fraud to make ends meet and is eventually sent to the State Penitentiary where he meets the love of his life, a sensitive, soft-spoken man named Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). His devotion to freeing Phillip from jail and building the perfect life together prompts him to attempt (and often succeed at) one impossible con after another. Told with an uncanny sense of humour and a lot of heart, 'I Love You Phillip Morris' is an oddball tale of what can happen when the legal system, a daredevil spirit and undying love collide.

My partner and I (New Yorkers) are already planning what we're going to wear when this fabulous film opens next month! I mean, I sure wouldn't want to be seen going into that theatre in anything short of superb! Let's hope they'll do a follow-up film--and maybe a TV series. Talk about being contemporary. Gee, jolly!

So come on, USA movie distributors! Can't you see that a huge chunk of this country is waiting with baited breath to see this film hit the theaters? And what it'll earn when it becomes a DVD will overwhelm you. Get going now! Why isn't it already showing? Nothing--nothing--in this movie is going to "shock" anybody. But then, is even the word "shock" used anymore?
