"Very cool movie, one of my favorite Jim Carrey movies. Many people dislike this masterpiece by the fact that supposedly it is not a comedy. But this movie is not a comedy in its purest form. It is a black comedy, or even better to say tragicomedy. It's a great movie in its own way. Jim shines here. Very versatile actor, you can not argue. An interesting plot about a character who was raised by television, about a lonely man who needs help and support", — Mj23.

"From the position of a thriller about a socially maladjusted stalker - just great. From the position of comedy unstressed, a warm wave of unpretentiousness of the 90s, Jack Black is cool, for example", — memberofNHK.
