Steven Russell appeared 'normal', a married man and father, a member of Geogia's finest and an organ player at the local church, but a traumatic car-crash radically altered his personality and out of the closet jumped both a flamboyant homosexual, openly throwing cash around, and a conman, whose fraud led him to both prison, from which he escaped 4 times, and total and utter love for a fellow inmate.
This is the Jim Carrey of old, a madcap comedian rather the more subtle actor of 'Eternal Sunshine' or 'The Truman Show', but, that said, this maybe the greatest of his screwball performances. It is with great ease that he portrays the funny side of this notorious charlatan, a man who could organise his lover's freedom simply by impersonating a judge amongst a mind boggling array of tricks... enuff said, watch this movie.
A light but enjoyable gay romance backed up by Carrey's zany high jinxes.
