An Entertaining Look At The Life Of Andy Kaufman

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 1999)

Jim Carrey does a nice job in his roll as Andy Kaufman. How much you enjoy it might be directly related to what you thought of the real Andy. It is well acted with an amazing performance by Danny Devito as Kaufman's agent. You will be constantly guessing as to what is really happening and what is a comic scam. Nothing is what it seems which was the genious of Andy Kaufman himself. My tastes are far different in what is funny and what is not, but still I was fascinated by the story of a young man who seemingly had it all but rejected it in favor of doing his own thing. If you liked Andy, this is a 8. If you did not, it will probably still be a 7. The last 20 minutes are really worth waiting for.
