A great idea for a movie by itself

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2000)

I am not sure how many of us can really appreciate the thought of how close we actually are to a "Truman Show."
In the Netherlands there are a number of people locked into a large apartment, which actually is a studio. The last one to remain in there receives a certain amount of money. The whole studio is full of tiny cameras, even in the bathrooms. To have at least a small amount of privacy, those people hung up a towel in the shower, at an angle where no camera can watch. This show is called "The Big Brother Show" - think about it.
Peter Weir did some fine directing here and even Carrey goes beyond what we know from him. The sarcasm in it all could have been taken even a notch further, but the overall outcome is still remarkable.
A definite not-to-be-missed movie!
