Decent once it gets going, but it takes a while

There's a lot of silliness in this movie. I'm sure kids will like it, but the same way they like bubblegum. It's sweet but not particularly memorable. If you're looking for depth, look elsewhere.

Jim Carrey, pardon the pun, carries the film acting-wise, but craziness works best juxtaposed against normality, which this film generally fails to provide. Some of his best moments are minimized because of this.

The movie kind of meanders its way to the action. There are several subplots that all take time to ramp up. The second half saves the day.

In short, it's generally fun, but could've been a better with a little less plot. Jim Carrey excepted. I'm glad for his renaissance.
