Commentary
ILYPM was a funny and very entertaining film. I enjoyed it from start to finish. The performances by both Carrey and McGregor were excellent and Jim especially, really carries this film. Unless you are uncomfortable with gay material, I highly suggest checking this movie out.
Technical
Image quality was fairly good on ILYPM. There was a fair amount of stylistic film grain that added to the look and feel of the movie. Black levels and shadow detail were a bit lacking, as was the contrast. The DTS HD MA 5.1 track had some good depth in the film score, but, as this was not an action film, the surrounds weren’t very active. Overall a good presentation for this particular film, just not demo material.
