A great movie

Rating: 7/10 (7 August 1998)

I went to this movie wanting Jim Cary to impress me... and let me tell you... he did (in spades). I only hope that this is not a one time departure. Jim Carey did a phenomenal job... of course having a fantastic director like Peter Weir does not hurt! Weir does a wonderful job of using his actors in ways that surprises you. Holland Taylor does a great job as a woman who "loves" her son even though she is just acting...Laura Linney is incredible was the long suffering actress that must play Truman's wife... and Noah Emmerich does a wonderful job as Truman's best friend when in reality he is Truman's worst enemy. This movie is truly disturbing because in this media driven world that we live in it is not that big a stretch of the imagination that the networks would try something like this... or that we would all watch it whether we admitted it or not... I recommend this movie highly. If you are looking for a Jim Caery style comedy this movie is not for you.... if you want to see Jim Carey in one of his finest role you MUST see this movie
