Good movie but not for everyone.

Rating: Null/10 (28 December 1999)

This is definately a touching, powerful movie about comedy's magnificent bastard (that's both a complement and a complaint). Carrey IS Kaufman. That can't be denied. This movie and The Truman Show prove that Carrey has really cleaned up as an actor. It's kinda like Robin Williams but Williams seems to go more for merely sentimental sappy scripts rather than emotional and smart (Williams movie's past the mid 90's are O.K. but that's it). Carrey does Andy Kaufman justice in a movie that makes you wonder what's a joke and what's true in the world of comedy. This film isn't for everyone but it is a movie worth watching. I like the final half hour of the film were Kaufman makes his comedy more positive. I kinda would have liked to see his Saturday morning show he was planning. Taken before his time.
