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.
