I Love You Phillip Morris
The script was based on the book by the same name from the Houston Chronicle crime reporter, Steve McVicker.
Jim Carrey stars as Steven Russell, a happily married con-man who finds himself falling in love with his cell-mate, Phillip Morris (as played by McGregor).
Russell spent years defying the judicial system, and also spent most of his criminal career hopping in and out of prison through a variety of elaborate schemes.
Russell even posed as his Morris’ lawyer to get him switched to a closer prison.
But it all came crashing down when in 1988, Russell was sentenced to 144 years in prison. Leslie Mann joined the cast back in April as Carrey’s abandoned wife.
