This made for TV film, made for the CBC, is
the story of Janet, an overweight teenager that goes through school life poking
fun at herself to make her classmates laugh. For a class assignment about laughter,
Janet visits a local comedy club, where she meets Tony Moroni, an aspiring
comic. The two will strike up an unlikely friendship and business partnership.
Originally, this short movie was called
Introducing Janet, but, after Jim Carrey gained success outside Canada, it was
released on DVD and renamed Rubberface.
I watched it because I am a Jim Carrey fan
and wanted to at least see it once, but, unless you feel like you really have
to watch it, you should skip it. The story had some potential, but the script
sucked. And the acting was putrid. The famous funnyman showed some glimpse of
promise then, but he was not given much to work with.
