this is my review

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2001)

Jim Carrey plays the role of Kaufman perfectly from appearance to gesture and voice. That alone makes the movie good but the problem is the script doesnt give justice to Kaufman's live. Maybe they're trying to say that aside from his performing there wasnt much to him. But Ive read books on him and he was seriously demented. Andy starts as a child performing in front of his walls and then is on a stage performing his foreign man schtick. Next is SNL and that leads his to Taxi, which he hates. And everything happens like that, from one big scene to another. The movie seems to be designed behind each bit without any real flow. Pigvomit is very good as Bob Zmuda and the Tony Clifton scenes are great. Most of the film is uneven by Carrey carries it strongly. A must watch for people who dig comedy. Jim Carrey deserved an Oscar for this. ***
