Jim Carey & Ewan McGregor Play Gay Lovers in “I Love You Phillip Morris”

The trailer for “I Love You Phillip Morris” starring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor is sure to shock many people. Right off the bat you’ll get to see exactly what this is all about. It looks like it is quirky, in your face and very gay but that’s why it could be so great! This obviously isn’t going to be a movie for everyone, which is why it’s being labeled as an “Indie” film. After original difficulty finding a U.S. distributor, likely due to its homosexual content, the film was re-edited.

The movie is based on the real life events of con artist, impostor, and multiple prison escapee Steven Jay Russell (Jim Carrey). While incarcerated, Russell falls in love with his cell mate, Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). After Morris is released from prison, Russell escapes from prison four times in order to be reunited with Morris. This movie could be cheesy and over the top or it could easily become Oscar bait, what do you think?
