Rubberface is a 1981 television movie made for CBC television starring Jim Carrey. Originally titled Introducing...Janet, the titled was changed to Rubberface for the video release following Jim Carrey's big success.
[edit] Plot
The movie is about a young woman named Janet Taylor who is depressed about her life. According to her English teacher she is a rather good writer. She is awkwardly funny with her friends, and often puts up a facade because she's very self-conscious. She then meets a dish washer named Tony Maroni (played by Jim Carrey) at a comedy club who wants to be a comedian, but he isn’t very funny. She begins to loosen up and becomes a bit of a comedian herself. They then decide that she is better at writing comedy but she doesn’t believe she has the stage presence. The movie ends with them deciding she will write his material from now on. When Jim Carrey's celebrity began to grow, the movie was rebranded to try to focus more on his character. There doesn't seem to be a direct connection between the new title, "Rubberface", and the what the movie is actually about.
