An amazing performance from Jim Carrey

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2000)

Jim Carrey's finest hour. This movie made me laugh and cry at the same time. The story of Andy Kaufman's life was unknown to me. In Holland we only had Taxi and most of the other things Andy Kaufman did we couldn't take notice of. But now in this retrospective all these things come together. Kaufman is portaited as a very sensitive person inside who created an outside of harshness. That is also the part that made me cry. Why was not he able to communicate a little better with himself, despite of all the effort he put in the transcendental meditation. Courtney Love is a surprise. She played a very good part. This movie is strongly recommendated.
