Steven Russell leads a seemingly average life – an organ player in the local church, happily married to Debbie, and a member of the local police force. That is until he has a severe car accident that leads him to the ultimate epiphany: he’s gay and he’s going to live life to the fullest – even if he has to break the law to do it. Taking on an extravagant lifestyle, Steven turns to cons and fraud to make ends meet and is eventually sent to the State Penitentiary where he meets the love of his life, a sensitive, soft-spoken man named Phillip Morris. His devotion to freeing Phillip from jail and building the perfect life together prompts him to attempt (and often succeed at) one impossible con after another.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charming, darkly comic romp through one man's gleeful descent into criminality for love, told with winking affection for its unreliable protagonist. It's audacious and tender at once, treating fraud and obsession as the romantic gestures of someone finally being true to himself.
