I am sitting here watching the cable guy on starz, and this has got to be jim's most underrated performance. During his run, jim was the best of the best with both ace venturas, the mask, liar liar, etc... it seems like the cable guy always get forgotten about and criticized, but imo it was an amazing performance.

Definitely his most under rated movie. When it came out, it seemed like mostly everyone didn't like it. Myself and the people I saw it with all loved it. Of course, we were tripping balls, but I've loved it ever since.

Eta: This is my favorite scene from the movie. I was in tears at the theater.



And of course, the Medieval Times scene. "These knights get laid all the time."

"Steven, are you taking the pot?"

The porno password scene was great as well.

Underrated dark comedy as well.

The scene when he's hiding in the ducts and singing the hold music and the spider crawls across his face is phenomenal

Me, Myself & Irene is probably my favorite Jim Carrey flick. One of the funniest movies I've seen too.

His performance is so good, I cringe watching him play that character. You really feel bad for him.

Nope, while it's very good, it's not nearly as underrated as Man on the Moon.

The scene where he kicks the shite out of Owen Wilson in the bathroom is pretty funny.

Looks like you sat in some cottage cheese, nevermind that's your arse.
