Editorial Review:

The Majestic is an old-fashioned throwback replete with a 1950s B-script and halcyon values like patriotism, true love, and clean fun. Peter Appleton (Jim Carrey) is a Hollywood scriptwriter with a sexy gal, a screenplay under his belt, and his big break on the horizon. But when his name is mistakenly given to the House Un-American Activities Committee, Appleton's dreams of success in the biz quickly unravel. An ensuing car accident leaves him without a memory but a great opportunity--as a small town's Luke Trimble, war hero and all-around swell guy, with whom he happens to bear an uncanny physical resemblance. Of course, there's a beautiful woman (Sandra Sinclair) who waited for his return from the war, an endearing old dad (Martin Landau), and the magical Majestic movie house to renovate and reopen. As Appleton's memory eventually catches up to him, however, The Majestic veers off toward Mr. Smith Goes to Washington territory, complete with a monologue on the First Amendment. Unfortunately, despite the film's earnest striving to be Capra-esque and Carrey's undeniable star quality, the charm is more reminiscent of Ronald Reagan than Jimmy Stewart. --Fionn Meade

I absolutely love this movie; I've watched it at least five times since I have owned it which is only a few weeks. It is warm, caring, wonderful message, and an insight into what folks went through during the McCarthy witch hunts of the 1950's.

If you haven't seen this movie you are missing a great story! The Majestic is definitely different from the normal Jim Carrey flick, but it's one you shouldn't miss. For those who love nostalgic movies, this is a must see!

We've always loved the Majestic, but it's especially poignant watching it now, as America is at war. The small town that rescues Jim Carey's character is what we all want; the sincere sharing of joys and sorrows with others that have been where we've been.
I don't know why The Majestic ended up being a relative sleeper. (For that matter, I don't know why Saving Grace, Pure Luck, and other brilliant movies with brilliant acting ended up that way, either.) Except for in the Majestic, ... Read More

This story is absolutely beautiful... no "if's", "and's", or "but's" about it! The cast was perfect and the story brought tears and laughter throughout the whole of it, truly touching my heart. Ironically enough, "It's A Wonderful Life" had a very similar reception by the people of that day. It took a good 30 years before it caught on to the masses, and all through a fluke of nature. With this movie being so similar in the Frank Capra feel and experience, I wonder if 30 years from now, this gem ... Read More

I LOVE this movie. Some of my friends don't and I don't have a clue why. It's a serious role for Jim Carey, something you don't often see. There are also some other faces you will recognize, like Martin Landau (Space 1999) and the town doctor (one of the Major Franks from Mash).
Jim Carey is a Hollywood Writer who is named as having possible Communist ties in the McCarthy witchhunt for communists period in our history. (If you were named as a possible Communist, you were blackballed ... Read More
