If you have seen the Kaufman bios on A&E, you have seen the movie.

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2000)

Jim Carrey, originally just cast as an obnoxious character with the rubber face, has managed to really start breaking out with better and deeper parts. Admittedly, I didn't care for Ace Ventura, but with acting skills displayed in Man On the Moon and the Truman Story, I could become quite the fan. I won't bore you with details or personal thoughts and comments, but I can sum this movie up in one sentence: if you have seen the autobiography on A&E, you have seen this movie. There is no new information. No insight. No answer to why? Andy Kaufman was a performance artist that performed for reaction. It just happened to be a benefit that he was able to make money doing it. Jim Carrey performed like a man possessed and played the part as well as Andy did. If you have 2 hours to kill and want some to see top notch acting by Jim Carrey, who may just yet make that break to drama (can anyone saw Tom Hanks or Robin Williams?), and have not seen the life of Andy Kaufman, this is a worthwhile movie.
