Continuity mistake: After Jim Carrey crashes the car on the bridge and, we see in the long shots that the lamp on the half-broken post above him is swinging from side to side. However each time we cut to a closeup of Carrey's face, it is lit very evenly - although the only source of light nearby is swinging wildly.

Is one of my favorite movies and I'm not always a Jim Carry fan.
Set in beautiful Fort Brag and Ferndale, it's a must see for all ages.
-100/10. Yet another movie where a comedian foolishly ventures outside his/her realm. This stubborn refusal they have to try and do drama is appalling. I've yet to see one where they were actually good. Plot's an utter bore. There's also a pointless complaint about TV becoming popular over cinema. Jim Carrey should stick with comedy as he's mostly lousy with drama. He's especially lousy in the committee scene where he uses the Constitution in that cliched manner that's been done to death in the movies. One of the first lousy movies of the 2000's.

Jerry the Bartender: I wouldn't know J. Edgar Hoover if he walked in here wearing a dress.
Trivia: The voice of Luke during the reading of the letter is Matt Damon.
Question: Several people from Lawson eventually realise the truth that Peter isn't really Luke. Bob knew from the beginning. Adele suspected that Peter wasn't really Luke and Emmet knew because Luke loved classical music. Since they knew that Peter wasn't really Luke, why didn't they tell people the truth? For that matter, why didn't they tell Peter the truth? Why did they let him continue thinking he is Luke?
Answer: The towns people felt sorry for Luke, He was widowed and had only one child. You 've seen the images on the news today, of entire families breaking down and crying when the sons, brothers, fathers and husbands returning from active duty. They wanted Luke to have some happiness in his life after so much sorrow.

Answer: Emmett was the only person that knew for sure. And he answers your question in the movie. "The town needed you to be Luke." He knew, but he did not want to rain on everyone's joy. Adele also eludes to the fact that she was pretty much fooling herself because she wanted to believe it. Bob also kept quiet for a similar reason to Emmett. He did not want to take away from the town's joy. Especially after so much loss and heartbreak everyone had been through. He was willing to put his dislike for Peter to the side for the time being.
