| DVD Description The Majestic is an old-fashioned throwback replete with a 1950s B-script and halcyon values like patriotism, true love, and clean fun. Peter Appleton (Jim Carrey) is a Hollywood scriptwriter with a sexy gal, a screenplay under his belt, and his big break on the horizon. But when his name is mistakenly given to the House Un-American Activities Committee, Appleton's dreams of success in the biz quickly unravel. An ensuing car accident leaves him without a memory but a great opportunity--as a small town's Luke Trimble, war hero and all-around swell guy, with whom he happens to bear an uncanny physical resemblance. Of course, there's a beautiful woman (Sandra Sinclair) who waited for his return from the war, an endearing old dad (Martin Landau), and the magical Majestic movie house to renovate and reopen. As Appleton's memory eventually catches up to him, however, The Majestic veers off toward Mr. Smith Goes to Washington territory, complete with a monologue on the First Amendment. Unfortunately, despite the film's earnest striving to be Capra-esque and Carrey's undeniable star quality, the charm is more reminiscent of Ronald Reagan than Jimmy Stewart. --Fionn Meade |

UNDERRATED GEM! WELL WORTH WATCHING! I saw this picture a few years back and wanted to see it again. If you never bothered to check it out, please do so. This is not your usual 'Carrey' vehicle but, a well told story about hope,freedom and much more. After a car crash causes a young screenwriter to lose his memory the citizens of a small hometown mistake him for being a local war hero who died in the war a decade ago. The great cast helps make this movie a must see, It's not quite a 5 star film but, I think this film would have been much more engrossing, if the audience wasn't aware if the man was the war hero or not in the beginning. Carrey does a fine job in a wonderful dramatic role. The DVD transfer is very good.
Great Movie!!! I love this movie! Great watch! Jim Carrey does an amazing job as well as the other actors! This is a classic~!
I like Jim Carrey This is a great movie for people who like Jim Carrey and wish he would receive more serious roles. He is a talented actor and should be recognized for something besides his ability to be crazy. It is somewhat idealistic in the way the story line is presented but what the heck, its a fantasy, wouldn't it be nice if a town could be that supportive. |
