Jim Carrey's highs and lows

From butt talking to memory erasing

Former “In Living Color” spazztastrophe Jim Carrey first flailed his way into film in the late ‘80s. But it wasn’t until the ‘90s that he became a multi-million dollar star of box office titans. A few career hiccups later and he doesn’t command nearly the economic windfall he once did. But recent films have shown that he’s much more than a rubber-faced jokester.

In honor of Carrey’s latest, “Yes Man,” opening Dec. 19, we take a look at the high points, low points and just a few “mid” points in his career. —Drew Tewksbury, Special to Metromix
