It's like Rush Hour 2, which cost $80M but definitely didn't look it. Salaries for Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker, and Brett Ratner took up $40-50M of the budget.

[b]PURE 100% DOPE![/b]
this will be dope going back to the old days of Jim Carrey Stupidity but combing it with some of the serious aspects of his recent dramas.I got the second post before you super nerds get on and argue about loser stuffer like uwe boll movies that you love to bitch about but will never watch. loser stuff gets the most posts on the site and great movies only get a few such as king kong, x-men3, narnia, jarhead, history of violence. But super shit gets the most posts such the doa the movie, uwe boll, aeon queers, Superman th return of the ass-goblin , white noise, just horrendous crap. you losers probably just whine on here all the time, the same posts are from the same dumb people!

r kelly's doo doo butter rules!

Cursed- original budget: $40 mil, final budget: $90mil

This film looks hilarious but it's insane that it cost that much. I'm sure it will make profit though if it's good and mabey evan if it's not(Meet the Fockers made a ton of money at this time last year and it was just allright).

I'm a Jim Carrey sympathizer, but this budget seems to foretell total under-performance. Unfortunately. Really, now, where the heck has been the advertising for this film? They better get on the ball.
