The so called comedy

I don’t understand why people love this

There are some films that are heralded as special within film culture, most of these are deserved but this film is not deserving of the love shown.
Jim Carey is beyond abysmal in this movie, from his vocal delivery to his odd facial expressions, there is no saving grace from him in the movie.

An interesting premise but unfortunately something that could be groundbreaking becomes derived and pointless.

I’m sad I can’t enjoy this movie but unfortunately unless this movie is remade the Truman Show needs to be axed and visit Room 101 for crimes against good films.

Pretty much the very definition of pulp fiction, this is the kind of story that you tend to forget as soon as you've read it! While also never confirmed within this (or, to the best of my knowledge, in any of the Hawk and Fisher books prior to 'Beyond the Blue Moon'), there are also some very broad hints dropped that these two characters are the same protaganists as in Simon Green's 'Blue Moon Rising' novel.

Essentially, these novels are crime novels with a magical twist - personally, I find done so much better by Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of books featuring the City Watch. That's not to say these should be avoided: just don't go in with too high an expectation and you won't be disappointed!
