Rubberface

Rubberface is a 1981 television movie made for CBC television starring Jim Carrey. Originally titled Introducing Janet, the title was changed to Rubberface for the video release following Carrey's success. This was his first film. Rubberface revolves around a young, depressed woman named Janet Taylor (Adah Glassbourg). She meets a dish washer named Tony Maroni (Jim Carrey), an aspiring comedian, at a comedy club. Maroni, however, has little success in comedy, while Janet proves to be far more successful. As the film progresses, their varying ambitions and capabilities as comedians result in their cooperation, which concludes the plot.
