Not Jim Carrey's best

Rating: Null/10 (12 April 2004)

It didn't take me long to realize "Man On The Moon" would be a film that turns out to become a disappointment in the end. I can't believe I even bothered to rent this film. I guess I am one of those people who believes that every movie deserves a shot.
I enjoyed the movie in the way that the story was told and each actor portrayed their real life counterparts, but that is where the enjoyment ended. "Man On The Moon" did not live up to the media hype that said it would be a good film to watch.
Other than the main characters, "Man On The Moon" had nothing to offer but a mish-mosh of scenes to put together to resemble a tribute to Andy Kaufman. I don't deny the talent of which Jim Carrey pulled of his role as Andy Kaufman; I really thought it was incredible. It also was the only thing that kept my attention for the whole two hours.
"Man On The Moon" made "Private Parts" seem worthy enough to win an oscar. I can't tell you how much I hated both films.
I highly urge everyone to resist watching this film unless you are an Andy Kaufman or Jim Carrey fan.
