I Love You Phillip Morris

Not about a tobacco company as I thought, but rather a supposedly true story about a chap, played by Jim Carrey, who comes out as gay and in order to finance the life he wants for his boyfriend turns to fraud. He gets caught and goes to prison, where he meets and falls in love with Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor, on top form). The remainder of the film details their relationship in prison and Carrey's attempts to get them out.
Very enjoyable film, not as comedic as I expected, but the acting is great and the story very good, especially towards the end. Worth it imo just for McGregor's performance as the shy, soft-spoken Morris. 7/10
