So, as I said earlier, since YES MAN opens today, I wanted to know what everybody's least favourite (or Bottom Five) Jim Carrey movies are.This time, I went ahead and sent his IMDB filmography, to job people's memories. It was interesting to see that he was in films like THE DEAD POOL and PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED.
So, my five least favourites would have to be:
1. THE GRINCH
2. ACE VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE
3. HORTON HEARS A WHO
4. FUN WITH DICK AND JANE
5. BATMAN FOREVERI worked on FUN WITH DICK AND JANE, so I dragged my family to it when it came out that holiday season, thinking that a) it would be amusing, and b) they might see me in it. Neither was the case.
But ohhhhhh, how I hated HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS (and still do).
The first to respond was Prison Guard Johnny. I am distressed to see ETERNAL SUNSHINE on his list, but hey, to each his own. John's list:
27. The Majestic
26. Earth Girls are Easy
25. Batman Forever
24. Me, Myself, and Irene
23. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Jeff the Chemist sent a list, but prefaced it with the fact that he hasn't seen any of them. It was:
1) Dumb & Dumber
2) Ace Ventura 2
3) Ace Ventura
4) Cable Guy
5) Rubberface
You know, I might have to disqualify him on this one.Beta Ray Charles wrote:
5. The Majestic (not really bad, just not memorable)
4. The Number 23
3. Fun with Dick and Jane
2. How the Grinch Stole Christmas
1. Ace Venture: Pet Detective
No Nickname Rhett sent me:
1. Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
2. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
3. The Cable Guy
4. Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events
5. Me, Myself, & Irene
Merrill wrote that he hasn't seen enough Carrey films to make a full list, and only sent these two:
1. Man on the Moon
2. Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
Similarly, tyranist reminded me that he's only seen five Jim Carrey movies all the way through, and won't list the ones he loved. So, his list consisted of:
1. Batman Forever
2. The Majestic
Even worse, Evil Cousin Ryan sent only one title:
1. Batman Forever
And I have it on good authority that he not only really liked that movie when it came out, but actually owns it.
So, I guess our "winners" are:
1. BATMAN FOREVER
2. ACE VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE
3. THE MAJESTIC (?)
4. (tie) THE GRINCH/ACE VENTURA 2All in all, this wasn't a very successful list. I may need to take a break for a while.
