You Better Believe it!

Rating: Null/10 (13 March 2001)

Jim Carrey becomes Andy Kaufman in this film. It is his best role to date. Love him or hate him Kaufman certainly was a unique comedy performer but,come the end of this movie, you certainly are none the wiser as to what made him tick. In this sense ,as a biopic the movie does not work and you are left with the feeling that Milos Forman is trying to make a 'clever' movie for movie people. Carrey is great and De Vito and Love are superb in their supporting roles but one is left with the feeling,like REM say in the soundtrack, that watching the film has been like pushing an elephant up the stairs
