I Love You Phillip Morris (2009)

Very entertaining, and surprisingly moving, true story about con man Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) and his star-crossed romance with Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). Both actors put in great performances, particularly Carrey: this is probably the best acting I've seen from him, easily on a par with his work in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (a film I also enjoyed a few years back) -- and far more enjoyable than the over-the-top comedy roles that have been the unfortunate mainstay of his career. Well worth a look if you are at all partial to either of these actors.
