Flop

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2001)

I didn't know Andy Kaufman before Milos Forman's movie, and after watching it I have no interest in learning more about him. Jim Carey no doubt gives an outstanding performance, but his character still comes across as annoying rather than funny or even captivating. Forman used to explore unconventional personalities in his movies, such as "One Flew Over A Cuckoo's Nest" and "Amadeus", but at least since "The People Vs. Larry Flint" he stopped exploring and started displaying. I found myself fast - forwarding through this one, thank god I didn't have to sit it through in a cinema.
