On or off the stage, a character on the edge.

Rating: 4/10 (9 August 2000)

This is a witty and fond look at the unconventional career and life of comedian Andy Kaufman. From his beginnings as a struggling stand up comic; through his television success with 'Taxi' and 'Saturday Night Live'; his tongue-in-cheek wrestling stint; to his final days before losing his life to cancer; Kaufman crossed back and forth over the cutting edge.
Jim Carrey did an excellent job in recreating Kaufman. Although I do believe that Kaufman did a much better Elvis than Carrey doing Kaufman doing Elvis. Carrey was remarkable duplicating Kaufman's mannerisms. Carrey fleshes out a touch of the comedian's humanity most people tend to overlook.
The cast also features the multi-talents of Danny DeVito, Courtney Love, Paul Giamatti and Bob Zmuda.
