I remember hearing that Jim Carrey was continually pestered by medical organizations for making the movie. Apparently, he didn't portray schizophrenia the way it really is, therefore, giving the general public a false perception on the disorder.
Schizo n. Any of a group of psychotic disorders usually characterized by withdrawal from reality, illogical patterns of thinking, delusions, and hallucinations, and accompanied in varying degrees by other emotional, behavioral, or intellectual disturbances. Schizophrenia is associated with dopamine imbalances in the brain and defects of the frontal lobe and is caused by genetic, other biological, and psychosocial factors.

See, nothing really having to do with split personalities.

I'm not a big fan of the movie myself. |

It was funny the first couple of times, but that was a long time ago, so I hardly remember what it was like. |

Spoiler: I liked the fact that the cow survived, in spite of the fact that he put 6 bullets in its head and choked it to "death". |

It was okay. We recorded it off of PPV awhile back when it came out. It was funny. Yeah Jim Carrey did do a good job. I haven't seen it in awhile. Maybe I should one of these days. I can't really remember what happened. I watched it once or twice or my parents recorded over it |

I haven't seen the whole thing but from the 1/2 hour I saw I can tell it was a very funny movie overall. *puts on list of things to finish doing* thanks for the reminder. |

Awww, a very funny movie, and I just realize that I don't have it yet. I need to make a note of that. The secene where he's in bed and there's a picture of the chick next to him, and the lotion, hehe, classic humor right there. |

Yeah I've seen it.
I like the part when he takes his pills at the police station and he gets cottonmouth. |

It was so cool seeing everytime their was something wrong that Jim's character didn't like, he would control his anger and it was showable. Then when he cracked that was funny Like the dog doing his business on the lawn |

I liked when he said: "Well, look who has joined the party"
That was one of my favorite parts...but there are many more.... |

This movie was helarious. Jim did an excellent job of the character. My favorite bit was where they were in the hotel and he was having problems going to the toilet |
