A naked American is found wandering around Canada with Amnesia. James Brighton (Dusan Dukic) has no memory of who he is or how he ended up on the street, but does remember that he’s gay. Taken in by the Montreal gay community, it leads some to wander if he’s for real or it’s all a con.
In I Love You Phillip Morris, Steven Russell (Jim Carey) is a married cop indulging in a closeted gay life. After a nearly deadly accident, he comes out and starts a lavish lifestyle that he supports by being a con man. When caught and jailed, he meets Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor), a gay man in jail for having kept his rental car too long. Love for Phillip sparks one inventive con after another from Steven to let them share a cell on to freeing one or the other of them from prison and creating a lifestyle built on one con after another. Carey and McGregor are great and the movie is based on a real people, Steven who’s still in jail and Phillips who’s been released.
