An Interesting look a an interesting man

Rating: 7/10 (27 January 2002)

Before i watched The Man On The Moon i new very little about Andy Kaufman. The only time we have seen him in the UK is his appearances on TAXI. I had no idea that he didnt speak with the squeaky voice in real life. I had no Idea that he was into wrestling in a big way and i had never heard of his Cabaret act Tony Clifton , although i would love to see footage of him. Jim Carey's performance is one of his better ones and his Moving performance can only do his Cv good especially after some poor recent performances. It is hard to tell what Kaufman was all about, was he retarded in any way? that is not meant in a bad way but it does seem as though he wasn't the full package at times. Childish seems the best way to describe him or is it Carey's performance that makes him look that way? Entertaining biopic. 7 out of 10
