I actually quite like Jim Carrey too. I don't necessarily like all the roles he chooses, but I think he's a likable actor.
I usually don't care for Jim Carrey's older stuff, (sophomoric comedy), but he's been maturing. I really liked him in ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND. I am looking forward to seeing him playing "gay" in I LOVE YOU PHILLIP MORRIS, if they ever release the film.
Jake is certainly challenging himself with performing in a wide variety of genres. PRINCE OF PERSIA, NAILED, BROTHERS and now a musical!
