I can honestly say I had heard nothing about this movie until reading about it over on Filmstalker. I can also honestly say that I never in a million years would have put Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey together in that kind of true life story. Live and learn I guess.The film is based on a novel by Steve McVicker - Here is Filmstalker's synopsis:
Jim Carrey is a father, husband and all round good guy, except he's a conman, and after a bad fall he's also gay. Then, to compound the matter, he gets caught for fraud and put in prison where he meets an awfully nice man Ewan McGregor whom he falls in love with.
After he gets transferred his lover gets released and so Morris decides to escape and head after him, something he managed four times in all using some amazing ruses. He faked suffering from AIDS for one, and in two other attempts broke out of prison and walked right into CEO roles earning huge salaries.
I Love You Phillip Morris is being directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa.
Here is the trailer.

trailer??? it feels like i just watched the entire (terrible) short film version.
what is is film trying to do? bring homosexuality ito mainstream film? it only brings up very bad stereotypes. does it try to redicule homosexuality? why would mcgregor and carry star in this then? is is trying to make money? why are they aiming it at what seems to be a mixed anti/pro gay audience? that doesnt make any sense. it will fail horribly...whatever it is attempting.
Totally agree with you there Pat. It seems a bit of a mess doesn't it and also a bit odd for them to be involved. Looks as if they had a story, Jim Carrey got involved and so his particular brand of slap stick had to be shoe horned into the film. Ewan McGregor is just a cypher in the trailer as well. Very strange indeed and a trailer that does the film no favours.
I Like gays!
