You know what Dianne, I completely agree!
Couldn't stand the Cable Guy - barely made it through the Mask.
But I laughed my butt off at Liar Liar - and have watched it several times.
I liked the Truman Show, and the Majestic - but I've never had the urge to watch them again.
The first movie I saw him in was Once Bitten - about the vampire who needed a virgin, and Jim Carrey was a high schooler - actually a really funny movie - very 80s.
