Great film

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2000)

Although not a biography in the traditional sense, I nevertheless found this movie very entertaining and at times moving. I only knew Andy Kaufman from watching Taxi as a kid, but I never knew he had so many strings to his bow, and the blurring of the lines between reality and fiction in his work certainly added an interesting theme to the movie. I'm not usually Jim Carrey's biggest fan but he proved himself to be an excellent dramatic actor with a very creditable performance. Strong support from the likes of Danny de Vito also added to the film. My only disappointment was Courtney Love, but then I just don't like her anyway! I suppose you can't have everything. Anyway, this is definitely a film worth seeing, and if nothing else it has one of the funniest and original openings I've ever seen.
