A really fun and witty telling of the true story of flamboyantly gay con man Steven Russell, who flim-flammed his way through a number of lives, and is today serving a life sentence basically for embarrassing the state of Texas and Governor George W. Bush with his exploits and prison escapes. Why it took two years to get distribution in the U.S. is a puzzlement. This story is a great vehicle for Jim Carrey and not, as some would have it, a setback for gays. Yes, we have gay crooks, and gay con men, and the cons are well-played on the screen.Rated R. 98 minutes.
