{4.5\/5} “Sometimes you have to shave a little off the puzzle piece just to make it fit.”<\/p>\n
When Steven is in a car accident he decides to make changes in his life — he comes out of the closet and lives life as a gay man, leaving his wife and daughter. When he finds himself a boyfriend he realizes that being gay is expensive. So he becomes a con man. But that doesn’t last forever — the police catch up with him and he’s sent to jail. While he’s in jail he meets Phillip Morris, a man he falls in love with.<\/p>\n
I Love You Phillip Morris<\/strong> was released in 2009. It’s based on a true story.<\/p>\n It’s very funny, but also serious in parts — it’s a bit like Catch Me If You Can<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I wasn’t convinced that Steven (at least the one in the movie) could fake enough knowledge to be a Chief Financial Officer. Other than that I liked it a lot.<\/p>\n The real Steven Russell is currently in jail — apparently the only con artist in the world serving a life sentence.<\/p>\n Jim Carrey (Horton Hears a Who!<\/strong><\/a>) plays Steven Russell and Ewan McGregor (Salmon Fishing in the Yemen<\/strong><\/a>) plays Phillip Morris.<\/p>\n
