A Series of Unfortunate Films

By: Andrew Stookey

 Have you ever just grabbed some ice cream, sat down on your couch, and watched an hour and a half long movie of a dumpster? Of course you have, if you’ve ever watched a Jim Carrey movie. 

 Jim Carrey, also known as “Piece of Garbage” by close friends, is one of the worst actors in film history. His films cause eardrums to bleed and eyes to melt, which is seriously unhealthy for moviegoers. 

 In Batman Forever, a film that received a 33% rating from critics, Jim Carrey plays The Riddler, and might I add, one of the worst Riddler’s ever. He makes the movie unwatchable with his annoying smile and awful laughter. Here’s a riddle for you: How did this movie even make a profit?

 Listening to Carrey babble on about how “…everything adds up to 23…” in The Number 23 is like having Sloth from The Goonies whisper the entirety of Fifty Shades of Grey in your ear. It just isn’t fun.

 When it comes down to it, Jim Carrey is an awful actor. Need some proof? J-I-M  C-A-R-R-E-Y: W-O-R-S-T  A-C-T-O-R  E-V-E-R. It all comes back to 23.
