Amazing Tale

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2006)

What's so great about Man on the Moon is that it shows that Carrie can make a movie that's both fun and serious. And this time it's not just playing a fun character in a serious film. Re-enactments of the scenes from Taxi were particularly memorable but everything else that made Andy Kaufman such a strange and interesting character is just as interesting. Whether you enjoy his bizarre antics or his unwillingness to become just another comedian, the film is bound to entertain you with its bizarreness and thoughtfulness.
What makes the film stand out is its earthiness. This is an amazing story of an amazing man.
