Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Carrey gets the best role of his own career -- and plays it with tenderness, valor, bravery and deeply moving conviction. I find him positively captivating.

rotten:
Marks a steep downturn in Jim Carrey's career.

rotten:
Darabont and screenwriter Michael Sloane's misty-eyed tribute may be pleasant in places, but it's too manufactured and deliberate to be persuasive.

rotten:
It can't fake sincerity. It tries ever so hard, but it doesn't have a single believable second.

rotten:
Mr. Carrey may go to both Washington and a version of Bedford Falls in The Majestic, but he is neither the Jefferson Smith nor George Bailey of Stewart's best-loved films.
