Someone steals the Miami Dolphin's mascot and they hire the title character to find the animal. Jim Carrey slides on the scene with his hilarity and investigates what happens.
To call this character and film weird would be an understatement. Toilet humor and making funny faces tend to be Carrey's stock and trade so to expect anything less would be to be in denial about him as an actor. Still, it has a lot of laughs and twists you wont expect.

Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway charm as Control agents 86 and 99 in this remake of the classic TV show. It worked even if you either didn't see or weren't a big fan of the original series.
They took an approach of paying homage to the original while making a serious plot film with funny circumstances and dialog. The bits made sense and weren't just shoved in to be funny.
Fans will love the cameo with Bernie Kopell who played Siegfried a KAOS agent on the original series. Watch Careful for his appearance, it comes and goes quick.

I like her comedy style, just with this one, I felt it was everything I've heard her do before. If you're a fan and don't mind seeing the jokes she did on Carson or Letterman again, grab it and enjoy. It's good, I just want something new and fresh.
