Doesn't work for me. Maybe he'll improve with time?
Carrey stumbles too much with the cue cards. His comedic timing isn't the best (yet?), but he's got a hard act to follow after Baldwin's Trump, possibly making any bumble sick out like a sore thumb.
My biggest issue (the one that turns me off the most) is Carrey's choice to portray Biden by miming the rapid-fire shooting of a gun, blowing on the barrel, then holstering the gun. He's done that a couple of times, now. I just can't find any tiny element of truth in that random reach at humor that could make me laugh.

I preferred Jason Sudeikis' turn as Biden back when he was VP. I wonder why they couldn't get him back.

It hasn't been working for me either. But I thought he was good this week. The "Loser" moment made it worth it.

Posted: 11/8/20 at 10:19amWhat throws it off for me is when he throws in his trademark mugging. Otherwise I think he nails it. But the mugging just ruins it.
Just give the world Love.

I think he's doing well. He's got his mannerisms down and that smirk, too. He just goes over a bit with the typical Jim Carrey overacting.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

He's been brilliant, his mannerisms, his speech, everything. But, Jim Carrey has always been a chameleon.
Love to see it.
