A view from someone not born before Andy's death.

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 1999)

I'd only heard minimal things about Andy Kaufman before Man on the Moon was even thought of. I'd heard of the things he'd done with Jerry Lawler as a wrestling fan, but I never knew truly what was so special about Andy. Insanity or Genius is the big issue, and as Jim Carey portrayed in this movie, Andy was 100% pure genius, just as Carey was.
Anyone who doubts Carey's dramatic acting abilities, even after the Truman Show, will be proven wrong completely by his role in MOTM. Andy may have died when I was two years old, but this movie will keep his legacy alive for years. Absolutely amazing, is all I can say.
