i_love_you_phillip_morris_ver4.jpg

Jim Carrey stars in a con artist story so unbelievable, it could only be true - as I Love You Phillip Morris debuts on DVD, Blu-ray Disc and Digital Download this April from Lionsgate. Hailed by theVillage Voice as "the best performance of Carrey's career," this hysterically dark comedy, from the writers of Bad Santa, spins the true story of Steven Russell (Carrey), a small town businessman who became one of the most wanted men in Texas for his brilliant con schemes and prison escapes, all to impress the handsome and incredibly naïve Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). The DVD and Blu-ray Disc contain a making-of featurette and audio commentary with the writers/directors and producer.

Blu-ray Disc - $39.99

After reading the title I was extremely disappointed that it wasn't a sequel or prequel to Thank You for Smoking...

Didn't catch this one in theaters, I'll rent it day 1. I

Jim Carrey.

Great News been waiting for this movie looked really funny

AaronSCH · 01-21-2011, 02:57 AM

I just saw "I Love You, Philip Morris" in Scottsdale last night. It was a pretty good film and I'd have to agree with critics who said that it was one of Jim Carrey's best performances. Ewan McGregor looked as if he had shed about 20 years and played it very "straight"—but I suspect much of his performance was left on the cutting room floor. Granted, he really wasn't the subject of the film but there was obviously something missing.

From what I understand, the film had difficulty finding a distributor due to the explicit gay sexual content. Unfortunately, it was re-edited for distribution. Hopefully the original uncut version will make its way to Blu-ray rather than the watered -down version. As good as it was, I think an even better film existed before the scissors were employed.

Excellent movie! Saw it twice in theaters. Surprised Lionsgate picked this one up, I figured Magnet or Magnolia would. Fine by me! Will be buying.

Trekofile · 01-21-2011, 03:25 PM

I can't imagine released the edited version! What was the point of making and then releasing on video an edited/cut release? I'll wait till the copy on this defiantely states it's UNCUT, not the bastardized/pasturized pap the studio tossed into theaters so as not to make the religous right's head's spin 360!

Minimejer05 · 01-23-2011, 06:28 PM

LOVE the artwork they chose! It was between the current one and the one of Carrey with the briefcase! Kinda glad they went with what they did.

That's kinda sad that they went through and edited the movie so much because of the content. If people will be offended by it, then don't see it. I'm sure it'll have better BD/DVD sales

Armorales102 · 01-30-2011, 12:24 AM

i think this was the best comedy of the year i already pre-ordered a copy when it was 27.99 it is now currently 29.99, every one make Amazon price match it is 21.98 at Walmart for pre-order

Minimejer05 · 01-30-2011, 12:54 AM

Awesome price for Wal Mart. Hoping they have it at 19.99 in stores for midnight release.

Paradoxx · 02-15-2011, 01:29 PM

Great film! This goes to my "must-buy" list this year!

Hunk Golden · 02-27-2011, 06:24 PM

I didn't know this came out (no pun) last August in the UK. I can't tell if the Blu is region-locked or not. Had I known it was available I probably would've ordered the DVD last fall.

I wish there was a way to see which releases were going to be available overseas before they're available here (other than looking up each individual release on A/UK).

I did not get to see this yet but I always found Jim Carry funny so I will rent it or borrow it from my cousin if he gets it.

Stickman032 · 03-29-2011, 09:39 PM

$22.99 at Best Buy although its $19.99 from Amazon they always seem to have some sort of damage.........and I kinda have OCD

Trogdor2010 · 03-29-2011, 10:13 PM

They were recently playing it at my nearby theater right now.

anomynous · 03-30-2011, 02:11 AM
