This Comedy Proved Jim Carrey Was A Dramatic Actor 

I liked that they made the new boyfriend genuinely likable, instead of obviously evil, like most examples.

The part where he blurts our “I’m a bad father” is heartbreakingly sublime

So many roles that ONLY Jim Carrey could have pulled off... Ace Ventura, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, The Grinch(2000), and Me Myself Irene... Nobody but Jim could give these parts the mojo they truly needed.

Jim completely nailed the dramatic lead he played in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I remember when i saw this movie in the cinema. It is one of those rare movies that had me on the floor from start to finish. Jim Carrey going all out in every possible way. Fantastic performance.

The irony of Jim Carrey’s potential drama range in Liar Liar. The Truman Show was immediately his next film, after Liar Liar that truly embraces his versatility as an actor.

Christopher Nolan actually wrote a script for a Howard Hughes biopic many years ago with Jim Carrey in mind to play the lead. He's said that it was a role that Jim Carrey was born to play. Sadly, even before Nolan could begin working on the movie Martin Scorcese's The Aviator was released (a Howard Hughes biopic). Such a shame we'll never get to see the most unexpected Actor-Director combo.

Liar liar is one of the best comedy movies!! Especially when he beats himself up in the bathroom. "I'm kicking my own ass. Do you mind!?" 😅😅😅

"I hold myself in contempt" will never not break me. Peak Jim Carrey

The part that always makes me cry , is when his client goes after full child custody, even though they just won a major case. And Jim is opposed because the guy is a good father. Jim can act!

To this day, the best legal advice I have heard is Carrey's "Stop breaking the law asshole!" Hands down one my favorite movies of all time. I also agree that the bad father line is very well delivered and why I love Jim's performances. Well most of the time lol

This is one of my favorite movies. My family and I still find ourselves saying things from this all these years later. I've seen this movie countless times and it never gets old to me.

He had hints of dramatic acting in The Mask as well

I just rewatched this for the first time since the 90's when I was too young to fully appreciate it. It still holds up. A great film to this day!🎉

"I HOLD MYSELF IN CONTEMPT, WHY SHOULD YOU BE ANY DIFFRENT!!!!" Jims delivery of that line damn near brings me to tears the amount of emotion in his voice and on his face is amazing this proved that Jim was more than just funny silly man and he proved that even more in The Truman Show

I want a full video on the ridiculous talent it takes to apply these layers of stress and tension in the comedic moments in this film. The way he performs it like he's literally paralyzed and I'd having an ocd freak out about it Is brilliant

Liar Liar doesn’t get enough respect I love that movie. Jim Carrey has so many roles that only he can do that if anyone else did them it wouldn’t work from playing Edward Nygma to Harry in Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura and playing Andy Koffman

I absolutely adoreeeee this film I was young when I first saw it.. And before this I saw a remake of this film in one of my country's language.. But this film absolutely had me dying!! This was the movie that made me fall in love with Jim Carrey as an actor and star! ❤

@5:45 This part shocked me when I first saw it. I remember it so well and it's what caused me to look at Jim Carey differently. I remember watching it and rewinding it just to hear it as it pulled on my emotional strings. That feeling holds true years later.

I absolutely love this movie. Probably watched 10+ times. From the name of the movie all the way to the laughters🤣and the tears behind🥺. I super love this movie and the peak of Jim Carrey

Honestly one of the best movies of the 90s, It's cemented in a generation of kids memories.

Was actually going through some stuff at my moms this week, stepdad died Monday. Found a bunch of all my old VHS tapes from when I was a kid, and still had a copy of Liar Liar.

Eternal Sunshine is one of the great masterpieces of cinema and the fact that it was Carrey was at the center of it along with the likes of Winslet's manic pixie girl, Gondry's wild whimsical directing, and Charlie Kaufman's masterful script is proof that he's truly capable of above and beyond tragicomedic acting. I cant imagine Joel as anyone else despite the depressed energy he had because it felt like Carrey brought a very human side to the character in a way only he could do. Also, let's not forget another outing he had where his performance was masterful: MAN ON THE MOON

Liar Liar Easter Egg: Carrey sneaking his Fire Marshall Bill cameo into the post-plane/stretcher scene was unhinged genius and I can’t believe the studio kept it in the final edit even with the extras around him breaking hard.

I saw this as a kid and it was the first Jim Carry movie I remember REALLY liking. Of course I had seen ace ventura, and I liked that, but I enjoyed this AS A MOVIE. The way I enjoyed Jurassic Park and Independence Day. I was surprised because it didn’t have explosions, or dinosaurs, yet I really liked it a lot. I haven’t seen the movie since, but this video reminded me why it was so good, in ways I could t articulate back then. Glad to see this movie get some love.

He nailed the Truman Show, I cry every time I’ve see it and I’ve seen it many times.

Thank you, I feel vindicated because I've been saying this for years. This is definitely the moment in time where we saw Carrey flex the dramatic muscle and realize it was strong.

I agree 100% thank you for this I have been saying the same thing for years that he is actually a full actor and not just a comedic actor

The court bathroom scene where Jim Carrey is "kicking his own ass" Is by far the funniest scene in the movie! Gets me every single god damn time 😂

I LOVE that movie!! Always watch a little when it passes on the telley. 😊

i just got into a argument the other day about this, jim carrey can do drama not just comedy

I also think the dramatic elements in The Cable Guy before this also showed this off. Granted it was dark and villainous but there's plenty character deep down.

Jim was in a Made for TV movie in the early nineties called Doing Time on Maple Drive. There he already showed his dramatic skills.

This is an amazing coincidence. I JUST finished watching Liar, Liar this afternoon.

I wish we could go back to movies like that.

I was so surprised by the film “The Number 23” and finding that Jim was in that movie. The first serious film I’d seen him in.

Liar Liar is to Jim Carrey is what Big Daddy is to Adam Sandler. 2 hilarious movies that make me cry

This is why "Liar, Liar" is my favorite Jim Carrey movie, perid

Absolutely love this movie! Thanks for bringing us your perspective about it

I liked seeing Jim Carrey cameo at the end of Liar Liar. When he is on the stretcher, take a look at one of the fire fighters

I watched this movie last night. I haven't seen it in years and the pace of the movie is so fast but i mean that in a good way. A lot of funny moments as well! I always liked this film.

There’s a good bit of dramatic acting in “The Mask” too. His role when he’s not in the Mask is as good as this one too.

His face is so expressive, the Mask almost feels like non-cg

Yeah I've been thinking thos recently. In 20 years I see it and Jim Carrey's performance being heralded for what it is

Just rewatched this movie last year, totally holds up.

Honestly this is my fave Jim Carrey film!

I saw this movie so much as a kid i can say all the lines from the scenes shown in the video.

I knew it as early as Ace Ventura. There was one scene where Ace insults Courtney Cox, feels bad and goes to apologize. He drops all the Ace Ventura schtick, gets serious and all he says is “Melissa, I…. Uh….” And you can see all the heart sorrow he feels in just a few seconds. It was right there where I wondered what he’d be like in a serious dramatic role.

A very underrated Jim Carrey movie 🎥

Jim Carey proved in 1992 in the movie Doing Time On Maple Drive he was great at dramatic acting.

Nobody can replace Jim Carrey!

Liar Liar is probably Jim Carrey's top 5 best.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is still a film I go back to…

Not gonna lie but there is actually a scene in "Dumb and Dumber" where he is crying and screaming with Jeff Daniels because they have no money and no jobs for paying the house and that was an excellent acting moment

I really enjoy these comedies that add in some emotional layer. Another example for me is Click. Adam Sandler does typical Adam Sandler things, but also conveys a heartfelt message of whats important in life.

Eternal Sunshine is one of my all time favorite movies. I loved the range it shows that Carrey had/has.

Such an amazing actor. I love his comedy a little more than his drama films

This movie is why I always shout NO while nodding yes And shouting YES While nodding no

This is spot on. I was never interested in The Mask or Ace Ventura and thought he was too much. Liar Liar was the movie that changed my mind about him and I went on to enjoy plenty of his other movies.

Letting his kid have that haircut was his biggest mistake as a dad.

I had a colleague in school who liked Carrey and acted like him during breaks

The problem is not that he can't lie. The problem is all other people can.

Love love this movie forever

Love Carey and all the movies, but Liar Liar is definitely the top of my list and high up on my favorites overall.

I’d love a video on the Little Rascals.

I think Carrey is a fantastic dramatic actor and a fantastic comedian at the same time. Don't know anybody else who master these two domains at the same time as well

For kids: the mask, dumb and dumber, liar liar, yes man, pet ventura etc. - tho adults also enjoy these flixs For adults: the cable guy,Truman show, eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind etc. One of the greatest actor and entertainer.

The greatest actors are the ones who can be the roll and never consider being anyone else. Ever since I first saw him on "In Living Color" I knew he was an amazing actor. He didn't need to poke fun of anyone but himself to be funny. It's rare to see a comedian exclusively laugh at themselves in a world were stand up completely controlled comedy. To me, he wasn't just a physical comedian. He embodied the character he was playing. So when I saw him in Cable Guy, in that last scene, needing a friend. I knew it wasn't just the message, it was Jim's acting. Even now, in what could be his last role of his career as Dr. Robotnic. He made me do a double take in the last scene of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I lagitametly thought they got Mike Pollock to do the voice coming out of the egg mech. But it was Jim doing the role justice. He has allways been the best entertainer I have ever witnessed and he did so by not judging his roles. So many "actors" refuse roles that Jim jumps at the chance to try. Out of embarrassment, because of there "image". I say they just aren't able to handle the acting prowess needed to take on the role.

My favourite comedy of all time

If I haven’t got a cable guy video then I need one

I always forget how good this movie is until I watch it again

She was a monster in the film. But boy did I fall in love with Jennifer Tilly from that day on. Ha.

The god damn pen is blue 🔵 lmao

Eternal is my favorite jim carrey performance..

I think The Mask did a good job of showing his serious side too, as Stanley

07:13 'it eas really surprising to see the guy behind The Mask' Oh, get you clever clogs!

JIM is a underrated genius. Channel him and you will get amazing results

This is my favorite Jim Carrey movie

One of my favorites of Jim's only second to Me, Myself, & Irene.

Jim is excellent!

I dont like Joss Whedon but he made it a point to hire comedic actors to do dramatic parts. Wish I could find the quote through the sea of all the crap that's come to light recently but I can't. If i remember correctly, I think his reasoning was you can get a funny guy to do serious. But you can't always get a serious guy to do funny. I agree with him and feel like it applies to Jim Carrey

Eternal sunshine is an amazing film.

One Of My Favourite Movie Liar Liar Jim Carrey Always Best

Love this movie

My favorite movie is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and he is just ::sigh:: perfect in it 🤍

Easily one of the greatest actors of his generation. He and Robin both

The thing sbout Jim that works so well, is that he's very conveniently good looking. But not so good looking that it's unnatural. So that makes him personable. Similarly to Phil Hartman.

I loved jim in the majestic

Jim definitely Carrey'd that movie! 👍👏🤪🤪

I love liar liar

05:00 let's take a moment to adore Krista Allen

Great movie

It's like Adam Sandler in Click for me. He might've done a dramatic role prior but that's where I was like oh shit he can actually act.

Liar Liar is my favorite Jim Carrey movie

This pen is blue.

Classic Jim Carey movie 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽

I'm pretty sure I popped a rib bone laughing so hard during this movie. But more on point, I loved him in "The Majestic", which was truly a dramatic role (no comedy). I thought he was excellent in that movie.

Cable Guy is unfairly maligned. I love it.

Everyone is sleeping on Jim Carey's 'The Majestic'

This being a RU-vid which caters to the English speaking audience, it is World wide and I wish to showcase one actor from India playing in Tamil movies named "S J Suryah" He has mentioned in many interviews that he has been inspired by Jim Carrey and you can witness the effect of Jim Carrey in his wonderful performances. Try his movies like Monster(2019), Nenjam Marappathillai(2021) and Mark Antony(2023) You can see how Jim Carrey's spiritual discipline performance
