WATCH: I Love You Phillip Morris, The Trailer
Well it’s only been seventeen years since we first heard about Sundance darling I Love You Phillip Morris, but after a round of release dates that have come and gone, we’re finally off to the races on Dec. 3, where audiences will be able to see Jim Carrey pound a dude. Now, the tease.

Check out the movie poster
I’m glad I didn’t see movies about gay people like this when I was young or else I might have killed myself too. Not only are gays sick, perverted and narcisistic, but now they’re portrayed as wacky criminals too. Apparently Hollywood has discovered the answer to the question of what gay people are for. Its to make straight people laugh at the movies.

@Kieran: I’m glad I didn’t have people belittle the plight of suicide victims when I was young, but maybe we’re both just thankful for different things. The idea that what all these kids faced was as minor as an unsympathetic movie (not that the movie is that, and not that you’ve even watched it) is repulsive and shows your basic lack of understanding surrounding suicide. Actually, why are you even commenting here again? People like you sicken me.

This will be sooooo approppriate for our gay kids to sit in the theater and watch with the bullies making fun of them. God almighty, don’t we ever learn… What an embarrassment this is. And why is not Jim Carrey doing an ad for “It Gets Better?”
Shame.

@Kieran: And the sad part is, a bunch of our queer so-called brothers, like Anderson Cooper, got all pissed of because of the phrase “Electric cars are gay”, and here we have a whole travesty of a film that is just one big stereotype after another. Oh, and that line at the end, “Fuck me with a flaming fist”? Wow, real classy. Pathetic crap put out by straight actors and bought by gay morons.

Great, great film.
It’s the sort of film that’ll piss off conservative gays who only want “straight acting” and “positive” gays in their films (ie. dull and inoffensive).
The point about it being made by straights is a fair one – but there are plenty of films from the last 20 or so years that were made by gays and most of them are dull, arty crap (Araki, Haynes, Van Sant).
It’s based on a true story which is ultimately tragic, but inspiring.

I definitely recommend this film! I watched it abroad and it became one of my favorites, the script is simply genius.
