Gay Carrey film receives positive vibes at Sundance

"I Love You Phillip Morris," a film about a onetime married police officer turned gay Texas con man (played by Jim Carrey) and the passionate love affair he has with a man Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor) he meets in prison after he's sentenced for credit card fraud, is receving a lot of positive attention at the Sundance Film Festival, although it has yet to pick up a domestic distributor. Apparently it was originally scheduled to be directed by Gus Van Sant, but he dropped out to make "Milk." It now sports co-directing credit for Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. It will be interesting to see how Carrey's usual audience responds to this one.
