With a mystical touch, his son wishes that his dad would go a whole day without lying, unaware that the world would take it literally and the lawyer is forced to speak the truth no matter what.
Taureans are well known for their stability and passion for honesty and reliability, so although he was forced to tell the truth, he was still honest and maintained good values.
11 Leo - Bruce Almighty (2003)
What would you do if God instilled you with his powers and told you to do anything you want except interrupt free will? For Bruce Nolan (Carrey) he took complete advantage of his powers and used them to get ahead in his news anchor job and become the center of attention he's always dreamed of being. He learns his lesson after he realizes that God was trying to teach him humility and patience.
Leos are known for being the most charismatic and the most well equipped to be in the spotlight. They are charming and creative and can be arrogant and stubborn when they don't get what they want.
10 Capricorn - Yes Man (2008)
Yes Man is about a man living a boring mundane life and holding a pessimistic look on life. When he meets an old friend that convinces him to attend a "life-changing" seminar that would give him a new outlook. Once he becomes a believer, he becomes devoted and gets too carried away that he ruins relationships and learns a lesson on empathy on his journey.
Capricorns have a tendency to be overcommitted and exhaust all their efforts in their work, almost having no time for anything else, much like Jim Carrey in Yes Man.
9 Pisces - Dumb & Dumber (1994)
When life-long friends embark on a journey to return a suitcase to a rich and beautiful woman, you would expect little to no problems, right? For Lloyd and Harry, it was an epic adventure that resulted in hilarious hi-jinks and epic moments.
Pisces are creative and fun-loving individuals, valuing adventure and friendship above all else.
8 Virgo - The Truman Show (1998)
Imagine waking up every morning and having the same routine in the same city you were born in. How about living your life for the entertainment of others unknowingly? For Truman, he was happy in his routine until he realized he wanted to go beyond the city limits and wanted to live life for himself and not for the entertainment of others.
Virgos are suckers for routine and predictability, preferring reliability to spontaneity. Like all the details in every set to make the Truman Show realistic, Virgos are very detailed and nitpicky.
7 Aquarius - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004)
One of Carrey's most serious roles, he shares the screen with Kate Winslet in this romcom. Carrey plays a hopeless romantic, broken up about his ex-girlfriend and even more broken up when he learns she did a procedure to remove him from her memory. In an act of revenge and desperation, he does the same procedure but as fate would have it, the two meet again and slowly fall in love again.
Aquariuses are progressive and independent like Carrey was doing an experimental procedure after a break-up and they are also known for running from their emotions, like the two protagonists.
6 Cancer - The Mask (1994)
Arguably one of Jim Carrey's most iconic roles came in The Mask, a movie about a timid man who discovers an ancient mask with mystical properties. When it turns out the Mask helps him achieve some things in life, he grows attached and reluctantly lets it go.
Cancers are highly imaginative and very outside the box thinkers, two things Carrey's character in this movie needed to hold unto the mask.
5 Aries - Ace Ventura: Pet Detectice (1994)
Don't let his goofy demeanor and outlandish outfits fool you, Ace Ventur is great at his job. Being a pet detective may not get the recognition or respect other departments get, but with an ambitious, confident, and determined detective, you get Ace Ventura.
Aries are known for being eccentric, energetic, and extremely ambitious and competitive. Ace Ventura lives for solving crimes and will stop at nothing until it is solved, something that will resonate with an Aries.
4 Gemini - Me, Myself, & Irene (2000)
Me, Myself, & Irene is a movie about a laidback cop who discovers he has a more sinister alternate personality. All the stakes are raised when he accidentally helps a woman running from danger and is tasked with getting her to safety in a neighboring city. As they go across the country, hilarity ensues and the pair are forced to deal with being chased, Carrey's unstable personality, and getting to their destination with no reliable vehicle.
Jim Carrey's character struggles with his personality who is a more unfiltered and confrontational version of his soft-spoken self and he is forced to quickly adapt to his surroundings to get to their destination in one piece, a movie perfect for a Gemini.
3 Libra - The Cable Guy (1996)
Imagine hiring an electrician to fix your cable and then having him obsess and stalk you. For Steven (Matthew Broderick), this was the case when he innocently hired a man that would fixate on him. He doesn't mean to hurt or intimidate he is just a lonely guy with little to no human interaction.
Libras value relationships and harmony, often felling fulfilled in their relationships and committing to others, even if it's not reciprocated.
2 Sagittarius - Fun With Dick & Jane (2005)
Fun With Dick & Jane is a movie about a hotshot finance man and his family that boasts a comfortable upper-middle-class living until the market crash. Drowning in debt and losing all their savings in the crash, the couple is forced to elaborate robberies to try to continue living the life they've been accustomed to living and eventually setting their sights for a $10 million dollar check from their former boss.
The movie is hilarious, serious, and heartwarming as the couple navigate through their life of crime and end up stepping outside of their comfort zone. Sagittariuses are well known for being free-thinking travelers who are always looking for excitement, so this movie would be perfect for them.
1 Scorpio - I Love You Philip Morris (2009)
Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) is a cop living a normal life until he gets in a bad car accident that awakens the passion in him. He comes out as gay, moves to Florida, and lives off of credit cards and fake checks. When he gets thrown in jail, he meets the love of his life, Phillip Morris (Ewan Mcgregor).
Scorpios are often misunderstood due to their confrontational and cold attitude, but they are passionate and impulsive lovers. They are true to their emotions and never hide who they are, much like Steven Russell in this movie.
