Disappointing Movie!

Rating: Null/10 (21 April 2000)

First of all, who is this Andy Kaufmann? We havent heard about him in this part of the world. Now, maybe people who know him will like the movie. But as for me and a lot of others, from start to finish, the movie is disappointing. Jim Carrey tries to act and but the face-twitching and related stuff, I think, is not a big stretch for him for he has been doing this all the time. Now I see a lot of people asking why Jim hasnt been nominated for The Academy Awards. I dont see a reason why should he be? Especially when we have unforgettable and better performances by a lot others....Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe and of course, Denzel Washington. I found the start amusing, thought I was going to see a good movie. But when I came out, I had wasted my time watching a silly movie like this. The movie is definitely not funny and not touching at all. Most of the others who watched with me and including myself didnt have a clue as to what the director was trying to say through this movie. Probably, just from what I understood about Andy from the movie, that he entertains himself and all the audience are really not that important. I felt Milos Forman and Jim Carrey thought the same. They really didnt care about what viewers would think, but they rather tried to amuse themselves. Jim, if he has any aspirations for even being in the nominee list for the academy, he has to do a lot, lot more than this. Finally, I would like to emphasize this is a very disappointing movie to the core, I ve seen for quite some time and I wonder why some one would waste time and money in creating this kind of movie.
