Andy Kaufman, this is your life.

Rating: Null/10 (3 February 2000)

Spoilers ahead:
I've heard all the negative things about Man on the Moon, such as, it adds nothing new about what is already known about Kaufman, or it doesn't go inside Andy's head to see what makes him tick. Well say what you will, at least it doesn't present fabrications or half-truths unlike a certain other bio-pic (*cough* The Hurricaine *cough*). Besides, it would be impossible to try to portray what motivated Andy. Even his closest friends and family did not truly know who Andy really was.
Although there are many hilarious moments in the film, there is an underlying sadness about it, that Kaufman was never really appreciated or understood during his life, and is only geting respect after death. My favorite part was the final moments of Andy's life, when he travels to the Phillipines to see a psychic surgeon to cure his cancer and discovers that it's all a hoax. After spending most of his life fooling his audience with his antics, he's the one being tricked. The irony is not lost on Kaufman before he dies. Jim Carrey gives a tour de force performance as Kaufman, and should definitely be in the runinng for the Best Actor Oscar.
