I absolutely LOVED IT! Next to D&D it's my favourite Carrey flick.
The reason why the audience response was so poor was because everyone was just fresh off seeing Carrey in stuff like Ace Ventura and they wanted to see that same stupid goofy act again - but it wasn't. It was black comedy. It wasn't stretchy faces and stuff.
I think it was great. The karaoke scene with him singing "Somebody To Love" is classic, and everyone loves the 'prison rules' basketball scene, or the Medieval Times meal scene.
"I gave you free cable..."
