10 So-Called Comedy Actors Who Haven't Made A Funny Movie In Years

3. Jim Carrey

Jim CarreyLast Genuinely Funny Movie: I Love You Phillip Morris (2008) Serious. Funny. Serious. Funny. Serious. Funny. You see that? That's the range that Jim Carrey can play, assuring us that he's a greatly talented actor who can make us laugh and cry. And yet lately we've been seeing this guy failing on both fronts - well, he's making us cry, but for the wrong reasons entirely. So take a look at Jim's filmography and you'll have to go back four years to find a time when he was really cracking you up. I Love You Phillip Morris was a deftly underrated comic venture when it came out, and although it's not going to have you breaking down into hysterics, it was a successful role for the man who brought us Stanley Ipkiss and Truman Burbank. But why did he opt to do that movie with the penguins, Mr. Popper's Penguins? I mean, there was no way it was going to fly, was there? Which brings me to my next point: does Jim Carrey love penguins too much?
