Review of The Majestic on Filmviews.net
Year2001 ReviewerChris Docker
I went to see this movie largely because I wanted to see my faith in Jim Carrey as a straight actor justified. Sadly it wasn't, but the movie eventually turns out better than the first hour or so promises. A writer who is also a victim of McCarthyism loses his memory in a car crash and becomes a small town hero. One suspects the movie may have been a labour of love for some of those involved in it, a fitting tribute to all those people in Hollywood who were affected by the McCarthy era.
Rating: 6/10;
