Yes, he still got it

Yes, Jim's certainly back. Though I'm sort of surprised with the way he delivered his slapstick antics here. It seemed he lost his touch making people laugh over the years or making me laugh for that matter. Some of his jokes are getting pretty old and he's slowly getting there too. If you’re expecting the Jim’s Ace Ventura or his Liar Liar character here you will be disappointed. But then if you just want to see something to feel good about then you’ll be definitely be rewarded. It’s quite marvelous to see how people are changed with one word. And Jim’s missing funny bone is almost unnoticeable with all the good things happening in the movie. I know he’s trying so hard to be the funny man that he used to be and I got to give him props for it. He did have his moments. And years has passed he still has this likeable factor in him. His leading lady did not disappoint either. Zooey is actually not a bad choice for a love interest. She brought color to her performance by being true to herself. Plus I can’t believe she has this awesome voice along with her. Overall I wished some of the corny scenes was deleted, it only made good old Jim looked bad. This move is a definite Yes in my book. The message alone is something to think about really.
