creditable engaging story line

I have never been a fan of Jim Carrey but this is not his usual film role. This is a lovely story set in the 1950s but I won't spoil the plot. Directed by Frank Darabont of Shawshank and the Green Mile so this should tell you about it's credentials. A very charming and engaging story line, ideal lazy afternoon watching.Read full review

Feel Good Cinema At Its Best

What a super film. No blood, no violence, no sex, just a brilliantly staged film about how a community can come together to make life better.

Set in just post war America, in a small town devastated by its loss during WWII, a man is mistaken as the son of a local businessman. He is accepted into the community and changes everyone's lives by revitalising community spirit.

I can't say much more without spoiling the plot, but developments later in the film make you think that maybe he wasn't such a great guy in the first place. However - stick with it.

This is not a Jim Carrey comedy, but there are a few laughs along the way, but this is a great love story that needs to be watched on a lazy Sunday afternoon with the one that you love.

Great film, highly recommended if you're into this sort of thing.Read full review

Jim Carrey plays straight brilliantly

Most reviewers gave this film a thumbs down, but I think that they were wrong. Unless they were expecting the usual manic Carrey performance that it.

A slightly stretched case of mistaken identity is used to give the viewer an inside view of small town US life in the 1950s. My only complaint would be that they tried so hard that it was almost too perfect.Read full review

One of my favourite, "all time" movies !

Great film, fabulous storyline - Jim Carey in an unusual but engaging, "straight" role. Martin Landau at his best.

Review of 'The Majestic'

Films starring Jim Carrey as a serious actor are few and far between. But this is one of them and he carries off his part brilliantly. 'The Majestic' is a wonderful film. Unfortunately the film has been largely brushed aside. Being much less well-known than Frank Darabont's (the director's) other two films 'The Green Mile' and 'The Shawshank Redemption' Some of its content is controversial. (It covers the so called 'Reds in Hollywood' purges during the McCarthy era.Read full review
