A credit to Kaufmann's Genius

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2001)

The film Man on the Moon starring Jim Carrey is one of the best motion pictures I have ever seen. It is a credit to Jim Carrey as an actor and Andy Kaufmann as an artistic genius.
This film is just what Andy would have wanted it to be. It is an emotional roller coaster that was the definition of what Mr Kaufmann's artistry (I don't want to say sense of humor) was all about. There were points in this movie where I laughed hysterically (particularly the "closing" credits) There were points where I was balling my eyes out and there were points where I was doing both simultaneously.
Jim Carey does an awesome job, to the point where I thought he was Andy Kaufmann at times. The Academy over looked one of the best actors and films in 1999. Which makes me give more credit to the Golden Globes (who did reward Mr. Carrey)
I have always understood Andy Kaufmann as a "comedian". However, even after this movie, I will never understand him as a man. The ending of this movie alone is pure Andy Kaufmann and will leave you as confused as "The Usual Suspects" Go out, rent this movie. If you enjoyed it as much as I did buy it. This is a great film for Andy Kaufmann fans, Jim Carrey fans alike. Even if you do not like Jim Carrey, you will in this film. Even if you do not like Andy Kaufmann you will learn more about what he was all about. I urge you again. SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!

Thank You Very Much
