The film starts off as a curio by a Hollywood insider but winds up making an awful lot of sense - with a few caveats. In the movie, the filmmaker closely associated with the careers of Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy and Steve Carell in such respective films as Ace Ventura, The Nutty Professor and Bruce Almighty consults with top scientists, historians, spiritual leaders and philosophers in a quest for enlightenment that proves … well, all right, let’s use the word, most enlightening.
I Am, a surprising philosophical inquiry-cum-documentary from, of all people, Tom Shadyac, is a 21st century equivalent of that cartoon, though despite his funnyman credentials, Shadyac intends no joke. That weary guy reaching the top of a mountain peak to consult with a wise man about the meaning of life has long been a staple cartoon in The New Yorker and Playboy.
