It's hard to give an opinion!

Rating: Null/10 (25 December 1999)

Well ... Jim Carrey is letter-PERFECT in his portrayal of Andy Kaufman's on-stage schtick, but my unfortunate bias is that while I felt that Kaufman's "foreign man/Latka" character was hilarious, SOME of his other material was a pain in the tokus. A reading of the entire "Great Gatsby" novel??? Genius, my foot!---He was just being a mercurial nuisance. Now, I want to focus on one of the celebrity cameos that I admired---if pro wrestler Jerry Lawler ever wants to break into acting, he's got my vote! Lawler re-creates his skirmish with Kaufman in a VERY three-dimensional way that displays a natural ability to perform in front of the camera. -----Oh, do you think I'm just some wrestling fanatic who elevates those ring competitors to some godlike status? NO. I couldn't necessarily even BE paid to go see a wrestling match, and I didn't even really know what Jerry Lawler looked like before I saw the movie. BUT, I admire great acting, and I feel that movie producers should give Lawler a nod in the future.
