I've watched and rewatched this doc at least 4 times. The last time, I got the distinct feeling Carrey not only trolled everyone who worked on the film, but the audience as well.
The tone is very reminiscent of Joaquin Phoenix's "I'm Still Here." Why decide after the myriad of films you've starred in to document this one? We knew he was a fan but my feeling is that he pulled off a Kaufman like gag and we are the punchline.
The premise is that Carrey couldn't break free from his selected role, but had no problem when he was at the Playboy Mansion and Zmuda was playing Tony Clifton. I wouldn't be surprised if Zmuda was in on this the entire time.
I've read stories about actors getting too close to their characters but this seems like a real stretch. Sasha Baron Cohen would have appreciated this effort but I truly believe that this was an elaborate scheme to troll everyone around him to think he had lost his mind.
