Interesting depiction of a very complex personality.

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 1999)

While this film didn't really show me anything new about Andy Kaufman, it is an insightful look at a man virtually nobody, perhaps including himself,really understood.Jim Carrey is a virtual replication of Kaufman, successfully pulling together the look, mannerisms and vocal range that Kaufman used in his various characters. The entire cast is stellar, with Danny DeVito as the manager and Paul Giamatti as Bob Zmuda particularly strong. Courtney Love is maybe the weakest link in the movie, being only mediocre as the girlfriend. Of special note are the wonderful prosthetics used for the Tony Clifton character.
