Near the bottom. I've never liked it.

Watched it again a few years ago, thinking maybe it would be better. It wasn't.

There are some that consider it the best.

Many great directors and actors today had their hand in it way back when.

This is Ben Stiller's feature film, dark and spooky.

I own it, so that means something. This is the only comedy I own besides Ace Ventura. I own Ace Ventura for nostalgia's sake.

I'm a big fan. Many hate it. Wait, I should have said many people lacking all proper decorum and taste, hate it.

It's up there. The fricking bathroom scene is hysterical. Owen Wilson is trying not to laugh to entire time.

I'd probably say the same. Cable Guy has pretty damn good cast

2nd best next to Dumb and Dumber.

The tone of the film just works for some, and not so much for others.

I really disliked it on the first viewing.

Now it's in my top 2 if not the top. It was just a bit unnerving on the first watch.

I remember seeing it the first time in the theater and thinking it was a bit strange, but I enjoyed it then and I still enjoy it now.

Classic Carrey quirkyness- he's not the main character, but steals the show almost instantly.

I liked it more than most. I think it was darker than people expected from Jim Carrey at the time. I also liked Ace Ventura 2 more than most people. This scene is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
