Ranking Every Jim Carrey Movie Worst To Best

27. Fun With Dick & Jane (2005)

Quite how this remake of the 1977 comedy of the same name managed to cost $100 million is anyone's guess, yet despite mixed reviews and a middling box office, it's actually pretty fun.

What Fun with Dick and Jane has going for it above all else is the chemistry between Carrey and Tea Leoni, even if the script - penned by Judd Apatow and Nicholas Stoller - is wildly uneven.

It doesn't stick in the mind long and is in nobody's top-five Carrey movies, but he's as enthusiastic as ever, and it more-or-less hits its undemanding markers.

$100 million, though?!

26. The Bad Batch (2016)

Ana Lily Amirpour's follow-up to A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is a gonzo dystopian thriller that fires off in a dozen different directions at once, occasionally hitting some worthwhile targets.

If the narrative isn't up to much and it's far too long, surely the most talked-about aspect of The Bad Batch is Carrey's cameo appearance in a handful of scenes - a cameo that truly needs to be seen to be believed.

Carrey plays the Hermit, a scuzzy, mute character whose sheer presence makes it difficult to pay attention to anything else whenever he's on screen. Bear in mind this is a film which also casts Keanu Reeves as a cult leader called The Dream. Yup.

The Bad Batch isn't a good movie, but it is divertingly weird enough to be fitfully interesting.
