Or perhaps, as the song has it, he falls in love with love. After he's imprisoned for theft and fraud, life changes when he's assigned a new cellmate: Phillip Morris (a blond Ewan McGregor as we've never seen him before). He keeps breaking the law, and they keep arresting him. Carrey makes the role seem effortless he deceives as spontaneously as others breathe. Steven Russell improvises his own scenario, so that most of what happens is his own handiwork in one way or another.
Plots are scenarios that characters are involved in. The method of "I Love You, Phillip Morris” provides great quantities of plot and then holds them at arm's length. Does he like straight sex? You bet he does. Who could be less like a church-going cop and family man than a South Beach playboy? Does he like gay sex? Yes, and very energetically, indeed.

Not only gay but flamboyantly, stereotypically gay, and soon living with a Latin lover ( Rodrigo Santoro) on Miami's South Beach.
After a traumatic accident, he has time in the hospital to reflect that his entire life has been constructed out of other people's spare parts. Continuing to seek truth, he discovers the identity of his birth mother.
