He just keeps picking physical comedy roles which, while he's best known for them, aren't his real strong suit.
Carrey's been his best in dramatic roles where he's subdued... Truman Show, Man on the Moon, Eternal Sunshine... hell, even Cable Guy.
I think after he got snubbed Oscar-wise(not even a nomination, WTF?!?) for Truman Show and Man on the Moon, he decided to stick with comedic roles generally.
Still, I liked Lemony Snickett. Of course, I haven't read the books so I'm not affect by any of that "it didn't stick to the books" stuff.

Carrey *can* be a good actor
