I am sick and tired of all this green faced evil that pollutes so much of our films and TV. All the evil implications of having a green face are evident in this film, and the subtleties of the evil that the mask makes people do is overt and a little disturbing to say the least.
If anyone out there has studied the history and meaning of green faces they will understand this film's evil intentions and undertones. I cannot look too long at the cover of this DVD because of evil greeness and I bookmark and skip the bits when Jim 'can't act' Carrey has the mask on. It would be a good film if he and the green face elements were left out but as it stands this film is evil and it knows it.

I've always had mixed feelings about this film. On the one hand it's a frothy romance that gets great performances out of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, as well as the excellent supporting cast; it's a feel-good rom-com, playing out the fantasy of making good, love conquering all and changing lives for the better.
But on the other hand when you look at it, it's really morally dubious. The overall message seems to be "You might be a prostitute down on the strip, but all you need is a rich guy and all will be well". The section at the end when Kit de Luca (Vivian's friend) comes by the hotel, to demonstrate how she has grown while Kit has stayed the same, is downright offensive. The idea that life-chances depend upon dreams and fantasy rather ... Read More:

I bought this dvd for my dad's birthday. He was thrilled to find that I had bought him the film that he saw and instantly loved a few years ago. I would highly recommend it.
