Jim Carrey's highs and lows

The Dead Pool (1988)

Verdict: Mid point

The proof: In this awkward installment of the “Dirty Harry” series, Carrey plays Johnny Squares, a drugged out rockstar, who falls victim to a serial killer. A pretty terrible film, but the absolute trainwreck of seeing Carrey lip-synching “Welcome to the Jungle” almost makes it worth it. Almost.
