I Love You, Phillip Morris movie takes a cop out of the closet and directly to jail—a love story…Jim Carey plays Steven Russell, happily married and safely closeted local law enforcement officer devoted to clean Christian living and keeping up appearances in the neighborhood. As "I Love You, Phillip Morris" opens, officer Russell culminates his spare-time search for the mother who gave him up at birth; mom kept his older and younger siblings. Mom wants nothing to do with him, and adding injury to the insult, Russell suffers a terrible car crash. The one-two punches inspire him to abandon his former life, and Russell embraces the gay lifestyle with zest and gusto. Discovering gay extravagance comes with big price tags, Russell discovers his proficiency as a con man…until he ends up in jail, where he meets Phillip Morris. Ewan McGregor brilliantly plays Phillip Morris, the love of Russell's life. And, then, the drama begins. Dealing unabashedly with homosexuality, "I Love You, Phillip Morris" might have inspired boycotts, protests, and a great deal of unpleasantness. Thanks to Carey's and McGregor's sensitive, poignant portrayal of the characters and the script's ample good humor, "I Love You, Phillip Morris" is just a really good movie about a couple of men in love.

The super-smart but tragically nerdy kids go to Harvard; the wise-ass geniuses go to Yale. Natalie Portman went to Yale. Therefore, no one should feel at all surprised that Portman can follow a brilliant and breathtaking performance in Black Swan with a charming and lighthearted romp through No Strings Attached. The bitter and brutal ballet movie showed critics and audiences just how smart, sensitive, and psychotic Portman can become when a role demands manic intensity. One critic commented, "She always has been good, but now we know the woman actually can act—except she is so good we forget she is acting." No Strings Attached proves Portman's range, and it satisfies her concern that Hollywood produces far too few "vulgar" comedies for women by women and starring women."No Strings Attached gained director Ivan Reitman's attention when it qualified for the 2009 "Hollywood Blacklist," a studio executive's annual collection of the best scripts that have failed to make the cut at every major studio. The writers pitched No Strings Attached in a single sentence: "A guy and a girl struggle to have an exclusively sexual relationship as they both come to realize they want much more." Although the plot seems painfully thin, irony, sentiment, and humor alloy the script. Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher punctuate and pixelate the post-modern era's answer to Doris Day and Rock Hudson, delivering a sweetly satisfying Valentine's Day confection. Apparently, at Yale, students learn never to take themselves or their obvious brilliance too seriously.
