Jim Carrey has to get out of this "safe mode" in his future projects. This was very disappointing. Please choose another director.. Please..
Yeah it got preachy, but for some reason especially in comedies I can block that out and ignore it without detracting too much unless it's particularly bad, I'm an atheist and the whole sentimental thing didn't particularly bother me that much.
The only time i can't stand sentimental bullshit is when it's purporting to be "real life" stuff, or nationalistic flagwaving crap.
