Carrey gives a really good performance, but the movie is so-so

Rating: Null/10 (1 September 2000)

After seeing Jim Carrey in both dramatic and comedic roles, I was not quite sure what to expect from this movie. After seeing it, I feel that Carrey is a really talented comic and an above average actor. He gives an impressive performance through out the film although at times he looks as if he is trying to hard. Part of the problem is that he chose to play a man who really was not that funny to begin with so it was hard to empathize with some of the more 'heartbreaking' scenes of the film. The public never really understood what Kaufman was trying to do and I think this movie simply states that. Carrey does give a good performance though.
