Don't even look for Clarence the Angel in this slow paced, but effective story.

Darabont is seeking to recapture the spirit of Frank Capra - with Carrey in the role of a James Stewart or Gary Cooper. Yet even though Darabont shares Capra's dewy-eyed optimism, his film's sluggish pace means he lacks Capra's screwball zest.

Darabont and screenwriter Michael Sloane's misty-eyed tribute may be pleasant in places, but it's too manufactured and deliberate to be persuasive.

... The kind of uplifting movie that I think many would enjoy around the holidays ...

It can't fake sincerity. It tries ever so hard, but it doesn't have a single believable second.

The first part of the movie will strike some viewers as inspiring and others as manipulative; at any rate, it's clearly the better half, since the final act is patently false and a queer whitewash of a tragic chapter in US history.

Carrey gets the best role of his own career -- and plays it with tenderness, valor, bravery and deeply moving conviction. I find him positively captivating.

This corny movie may not appeal to kids.

Mr. Carrey may go to both Washington and a version of Bedford Falls in The Majestic, but he is neither the Jefferson Smith nor George Bailey of Stewart's best-loved films.

Carrey is excellent in the lead role supplying both vulnerability and wit...

Marks a steep downturn in Jim Carrey's career.

Well-intentioned, but nearly every scene feels dragged out.
