Man on Man Love in I Love You Phillip Morris

Jim Carrey plays a con man who gets sent to the slammer, where he falls in love with a dude name Phillip Morris (no, not the cigarette, but rather an actual dude) played by Ewan McGregor. The problem is, Morris gets released, and now Carrey must escape from prison to be with his true love. He ends up escaping from prison — four times — in order to do just that. And in-between, there is man love going on. Leslie Mann fits in there somewhere. The whole thing is supposed to be based on a true story. Rodrigo Santoro, Xerxes from “300″, also co-stars.
