Factual error: The film is set in 1951 but Peter and Adele have their first dance to the tune "Stranger On The Shore" which was first released in 1961.

Is one of my favorite movies and I'm not always a Jim Carry fan.
Set in beautiful Fort Brag and Ferndale, it's a must see for all ages.
-100/10. Yet another movie where a comedian foolishly ventures outside his/her realm. This stubborn refusal they have to try and do drama is appalling. I've yet to see one where they were actually good. Plot's an utter bore. There's also a pointless complaint about TV becoming popular over cinema. Jim Carrey should stick with comedy as he's mostly lousy with drama. He's especially lousy in the committee scene where he uses the Constitution in that cliched manner that's been done to death in the movies. One of the first lousy movies of the 2000's.

Adele: You remember movies but you don't remember your life?
Trivia: When Jim Carrey leaves the bar that he was drinking in with the monkey, check the sign behind him - it says Coco Bongo. The Coco Bongo Clup is the new club in another Jim Carrey movie, "The Mask".
Question: Why didn't Peter retaliate against Bob for punching him and letting the town know what a jerk he is?
Answer: Two possible reasons. 1. Hitting him back and telling everybody about Bob being a complete jerk would make him no better then Bob. 2. Bob actually knew the real Luke and if Peter had hit him, Bob could retaliate by telling everybody the truth.
