Synopsis:
The story of Jim Carrey, the most famous,
best paid movie actor ever to come out of this country. Who is
he, and how did he get to a level of fame even he couldn’t have
imagined? "Somebody Stop Me" combines traditional chronology
with the odyssey of a unique and spectacularly successful comic
imagination. It's an exploration of the nature of comedy itself; and
a story about
the sharks and angels in the comedy and movie business. It's about
sickening failure and dizzying success. Its about how poverty drives
ambition. It's a great father and son story.
