Excellent, indeed!

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2001)

It is actually a surprise to me that Jim Carrey could perform so well. I have missed both "Man on the Moon" and "The Truman show" when released... missed on purpose, actually: After a friend of mine dragged me into a theater to watch "Dumb and Dumber"... well, you know the feeling. I couldn't bear to watch this guy again. I was wrong, oh I was wrong. I rented the film on video, mostly because of the director. Peter Weir has never been one of my favorites, but surely the man knows how to make a good film. Well, actually after watching "The Truman Show" Peter Weir is just a step away of becoming one of my favorites. It is a brilliant film. Great concept, intelligent script, great performances. And the greatest of them - surprise! - Jim Carrey's Truman !
Astounding , how a man can do this to himself. I mean, acting as the "Dumb" (or the "Dumber"???) and Ace Ventura etc and then... unfolding a unique talent, not only once but twice - "Man on the moon" is another strong recommendation. If you haven't seen this film... do it now. It is worth a lot more than the 103 minutes of your time it is asking... a whole lot more!
