He''s tried diets, gurus, and cuddling with his military-grade Israeli guard dogs, but nothing seems to lift the cloud of emptiness and ennui. Even the sage advice of his best friend, actor and dinosaur skull collector Nicolas Cage, isn''t enough to pull Carrey out of his slump. But then Jim meets Georgie: ruthless ingénue, love of his life.
