It’s both weird and highly amusing to watch Carrey’s early work. You know what he’s capable of and often he’s either being a regular guy or has the Carrey-meter turned way down to maybe a two-and-a-half. ![]() A little wackiness here and there, but nothing you’d look twice at. I hang my head low as I confess, I did indeed rent 1981’s Canadian “comedy” Rubberface from Blockbuster. Revolving around a shy girl and Carrey as a terrible stand-up comic, it was basically a long short film with a cliché ending where Carrey fakes laryngitis to get his friend up on stage. 1985 represents a false start for Carrey. If the double whammy of the vampire comedy Once Bitten (which I watched on cable ALOT) and Francis Ford Coppola’s well-reviewed minor hit Peggy Sue Got Married had been a bigger deal, he might have become a star way sooner.
