I want more movies where Jim Carrey acts like a fool. I've never heard of him doing anything like this. Does anyone know what the plot outline might be for Ripleys?

so he is hit and miss. Barnyard and Patch Adams where atrocious, but i really liked Kung Pow and most of his work with Jim Carrey. ill wait and see.

Yeah I have to agree Kung Pow is a Cult Classic. Patch Adams was pure Dreck, it wanted to be a Academy Award Contender but it was just......Horrible memories comming back into my head. Bruce Almighty and Steve Allrighty? Is that the next one? I never saw Bruce.....But it looks ok. Steve makes dumb but harmless films I think it'll work.

was pure genius marketed really really poorly. i refused to watch it and mocked it for a while before actually sitting down to watch it, and it is comic gold.

i didnt' know people existed that enjoyed Kung Pow as much as I did. And I agree, the marketing was shit, Oedekerk deserved better. And another personal fave of mine is Nothing to Lose (it's magic and high talent when a director can drag a small drop of acting skill out of Martin Lawrence).
