Remembered for its slap-stick memory and Jim Carrey's performance, multiple moments in the film can be found to be problematic today. Apart from the blatant misogyny and insensitive jokes, the transphobia in the film is troublesome. When it is revealed that the character of Lois Einhorn is transgender, the movie does not shy away from using this as a punchline. There's even a scene where Jim Carrey's character expresses disgust after learning about her gender. These depictions in popular movies can be harmful to the already stereotyped trans community.
