Ranking Every Jim Carrey Movie Worst To Best

31. Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All (1989)

Awesome though Stacy Keach was as the titular P.I. across both a TV series - for which he received a Best Actor Golden Globe nomination - and several TV movies, Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All is a strictly for-the-fans outing.

Keach is great and all, but you'll need a particular stomach for the low-rent production values, and even Carrey's supporting turn as a motormouth accountant is more a grating curio than genuinely entertaining.

30. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013)

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is the last out-and-out comedy vehicle that Carrey has appeared in, playing the memorable supporting role of Steve Gray, a demented street magician clearly intended to parody the likes of David Blaine and Criss Angel.

Though the idea of parodying "extreme" magicians felt totally moldy even by 2013, the film is elevated by its ensemble cast, especially Carrey but also lead Steve Carell and Steve Buscemi, Alan Arkin, and James Gandolfini.

Few Carrey fans will revisit this one much if at all, but he's clearly having a blast and the enterprise as a whole is just too harmless to get bent out of shape about. It's fine.
