Ewan M. (my new favorite actor)

Ditto. I saw I Love You Phillip Morris the other night, he's far and away the best thing about the movie. And the movie itself is quite good.

Catfish is kind of a waste of time. To get to a feature length run time, they drag out a bunch of their investigation and suspicion and the unfolding of the internet relationships*. Which leaves the question hanging of why they started filming this in the first place if they didn't know there was a good payoff. For anyone interested in the perils of internet relationships, talhotblond is a much more intriguing, much better constructed documentary on the same themes. I'd highly rec that and skipping Catfish.

Ewan M. never came across as gay in anything else did he?

Carrey is the best thing about the movie, but I agree that the film is well done and interesting.

Well, everything about Moulin Rouge is pretty gay...

And The Velvet Goldmine, too, and literally, although it isn't very good.

Spoilage:

* Actually it would have been better if they focused on the internet relationships, and the web of deceit and the many characters created, rather than focusing on their juvenile and often boring reactions to the overall relationship. The whole payoff is that this woman created an elaborate deceit, and yet instead of documenting that deceit and its layers, they document their interactions and reactions, totally losing sight that Angela is the interesting one here, not these guys. It would have made things much more meaningful and poignant when we finally see Angela's reality. And we should have spent more time learning about Angela. Til the end, these guys think the story is how normal people like them -- meaning you -- can be duped on the internet. When the real story is the pathology and loneliness that this other person felt and how they manipulated the anonymity of the internet to live a different reality.

From what I've read, Catfish is almost surely a fake. Some recreation after the fact, and inserts of computer screen closeups. Plus, the whole thing, no pun intended, smells fishy.
