Thank you Jim

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 1999)

Wow! After the second time seeing "Man on the Moon" thats the first thing a viewer can think. Jim Carrey shines as Andy, in fact he IS Andy. After the first few moments of the film (and an opening that is pure Kaufman) Jim melts into the role, without ever stooping so low as to pull trade mark Carrey moves. The idea that the same man who used to talk out of his rear end is now very possibly going to be nonimated for an oscar is well... wow! The only flaw I could find after the second viewing is the movie requires some previous knowlage of Andy's life. We as viewers are never quite told how Andy became the man he is, or how he met writing partner Zemua.
An incredible feat, the movie manages to remain fairly nutral. The viewer is given an insite into the mind of Andy, without given any concrete answers. Refreshingly enough, the movie isn't tied up neatly in the end. The viewer is instead given the luxary of drawing their own conclusions and beliefs, without being force fed any opions. In short... WOW~
