Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor star in this outrageous true story about a conman who meets the love of his life - in prison.

Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) is a happily married police officer who plays the organ at church and prays every night with his wife (Leslie Mann). However, after finding and being rejected by the mother who gave him up as a baby, Steven leaves his family to be his true, flamboyantly gay self. He moves to Miami, finds a boyfriend (Rodrigo Santoro) and becomes a conman to pay for his lavish lifestyle. But Steven is sent to prison, were he meets and falls in love with Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). But Steven - a forlorn lover who cannot bear to be separated from his soulmate - will go to any lengths to be with Phillip, including breaking out of jail, impersonating Phillip's lawyer and fraudulently becoming the chief of a major corporation.

Screenplay: Glenn Ficarra, John Requa

You should see it because: Jim Carrey brings his trademark manic comic energy to this deliciously off-beat love story.
