I'm with you! I think he is extremely talented and unfortunately gets type-cast as just funny when he has done great in some serious roles like in "The Truman Show", "Man on the Moon" and "Eternal Sunshine...". But, I guess fortunately for us, we get to continue to watch great comedies with a comic genius.

Fun With Dick And Jane was a remake and was almost identical to the original! Carey is good, but not one of the greats.
Rob Schneider is excellent, as is Adam Sandler, I think both are better than Carey. I also would put the two guys out of Wedding Crashers ahead of Jim, but Owen Wilson isn't strictly comedy.

I think that he is definitely a very talented actor - he was brilliant in "The Mask" and "Ace Ventura". I was interested to see him in "The Truman Show" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" because those films showed that he could play more serious roles as well.
I wouldn't say that he was the best comic actor ever though. That would take some thought.

If you mean "ever", then I'm worried about all the answers and your question...how old are you guys?!
Do you not remember Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, John Belushi (he's probably the best of all), Bill Murray, even Mike Myers for crying out loud!! They're all better than Jim Carrey! His act is based around bodily movements, gurning and shouting with that huge mouth of his. Dammit, look to Saturday Night Live during the late 70's/early 80's and you'll get a far better indication of the best ever comics...

I don't think he is the best comedic actor. I mean check out Chevy Chase in National Lampoons Vacation or Ben Stiller in Meet the Parents and Dodgeball or Tom Hanks in The Burbs and Money Pit.

Of course!!!! Jim Carrey is definetly the best comedy actor. i think people confuse Adam Sandler's movies being funny and not him. adam sandler is not really a good comedy actor. his movies are funny though. but definetly Jim Carrey is the best out there.

He has changed the world of movies with his funniness and clever humor. The mask and ace ventura are the funniest films of jim carrey i have ever seen in my life.

I first saw him in "The Mask! - it was a fair film.
But he seems to have an enormous ego. That makes him annoying.
He doesn't seem to be able to be, erm, more self controlled.
You can't deny that he has talent in the movie world anyway.
But I think he's a jerk.
