Original

Rating: Null/10 (28 November 2004)

This is originality at it's finest. Aspiring writers are all jealous of Kaufman's brain. The heart of this movie is Carrey and he does a very credible, convincing job of playing his part. We all know Carrey as the over the top comic who can't calm down. He is the opposite of this in this movie. Winslet is as vivacious as ever but it is Carrey who truly shines here. This is yet another movie that uses its supporting characters to weave a tale. I will part with others in calling this the best movie I have seen this year (in my mind, that still goes to The Terminal) but I did enjoy it and felt that I was watching something highly original. I hope the Academy will honor Carrey with an Oscar nod for his work in this movie. In addition to a screen writing nomination for Kaufman. 8/10
