Carrey is unreal!

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2000)

I went into Man on the Moon with very high expectations, but I ended up finding out that this film exceeded all of them by unmeasurable means. I didn't know all that much about Andy Kaufman, and quite frankly, you do not really need to. As I was watching it, I kept thinking that I haven't seen a movie with Jim Carrey in it for a long time. To tell you the truth, I still haven't. I know he is in Man on the Moon, but it wasn't Jim Carrey. This is one of the best performances I have ever seen because he was not Jim Carrey, he WAS Andy Kaufman. Not once did he ACT like the old Jim Carrey we are all used to (Ace, Dumb and Dumber, even The Truman Show). This has to be one of, if not the best film of the year. If the Academy shuts out Carrey for Best Actor again (he should have WON for Truman Show) well, to put it lightly, I am NEVER watching the Academy Awards ever again!!
