No, he was merely competent - and that's the thing, when a shite "actor" turns in a workmanlike or non-embarrassing performance - the media immediately goes "Ooh, he/she is a revelation so-and-so can really act" and Hollywood, ever quick to jump on the bandwagon, starts throwing accolades, awards and plum parts at the now highly-marketable "actor".
Carrey did "ok" in that move - nothing more. The word "Awesome" like "Star" has lost it's meaning now and is merely a euphanism for "Mediocre".
Who's to say that it won't be a springboard for him to go on to greater things? - even he must be getting fed up playing the clown in toe-curling dross like "The Mask", "Ace Ventura" & "Me, Myself & Irene".
