I Love You Phillip Morris gets December 3rd release date
The eagerly-anticipated film, produced by Andrew Lazar and Far Shariat with Luc Besson as executive producer, has been a buzz-worthy title since world premiering at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, screening as part of Directors' Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival and opening to huge critical-acclaim internationally. The North American deal was announced jointly by Howard Cohen, Co-President of Roadside Attractions and Mickey Liddell of Liddell Entertainment. Roadside Attractions plans a December 3, 2010 release.
"Audiences who know this is from the creators of Bad Santa will be thrilled that it's as outrageous as they'd expect," said Mickey Liddell, who partnered with Roadside Attractions in releasing Chris Rock's Good Hair in 2009. "It's a true-life, daring, crazy love story with fascinating lead performances by Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor"
"Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor once again prove themselves to be among the rare group of A-list actors who take the risks, embrace them and wildly succeed," added Howard Cohen. "This is a film that everyone has been talking about, and we're thrilled it became available again, as we had been in hot pursuit of it at Sundance and were disappointed it was one that got away."
I Love You Phillip Morris is the improbable but true story of a spectacularly charismatic conman's journey from small-town businessman to flamboyant white-collar criminal, who repeatedly finds himself in trouble with the law and on the lam, brilliantly escaping from the Texas prison system on four separate occasions - all in the name of love.
I Love You Phillip Morris was released December 3rd, 2010 and stars Jim Carrey, Ewan McGregor, Leslie Mann, Rodrigo Santoro, Antoni Corone, Brennan Brown, Michael Mandel, Annie Golden. The film is directed by Glenn Ficarra, John Requa.

as for TheSHIZNET or whatever your name is, what are you talking about? They don't show one penis in this entire film. Your an idiot and obviously have not seen this. They show a sex scene in the beginning, but nothing is shown whatsoever. So shut up.

I read some months ago in an article that it got a lot of flack and "controversy" because of the "gratuitous" and "graphic" sex in it, or whatever. They were even crazy enough to post a clip of such example of scenes along with the article! And i gotta say, i never Jim Carrey in that kind of light before LOL. With it being as "controversial" as they were claiming it to be, the fact that it had gotten such shocked reactions from people, and that Jim Carrey was a part of that, that alone IMMEDIATELY caught my eye! And when i read what the story of the film was about, I knew I had to see. This is a film i'm actually looking forward to seeing, simply because I'm a huge fan of Jim Carrey and I've never missed a film he's been in, no matter what the film is. Besides, i'm always looking and searching for films that are either so over the top, or outrageous or disturbing, or bizarre films, or films that are not only willing to push envelopes but actually tear the f*ckin envelope to pieces right in front of your face without apologies. Movies that will push boundaries and take things further than what people were expecting. The more daring the better, I say. Anyway, all in all, looking forward to seeing the movie!
