Watchable again and again and again

Rating: 8/10 (31 July 2006)

Have seen this movie a good few times now and I still love it.
Plot (no spoiler)- Jim Carey plays the lovable Truman Burbank. He lives in a small, pleasant town where he has his daily routines and a sucky job in an insurance company. Well he thinks he does. In fact Truman is the star of the worlds biggest reality TV show. Adopted at birth by the TV company, he has been followed by camera his whole life and the world has watched him grow up. However Truman - starts to notice that all is not as it should be and this is where we join the film.
This is a witty film without the "IN YOUR FACE" comedy that Carey has made his own over the last 10 years. He doesn't play it up and completely succeeds at making you feel for Truman as he wanders aimlessly through this Big Brother style prison. The rest of the cast are secondary to Jim as he carries the movie all by himself.
This is a great film for a lazy Sunday evening when the fun for the weekend is over and Monday is looming up fast. Curl up on the couch with someone you love and let yourself become enveloped in the film. A bit of popcorn would come in handy as well.
All in all, this is one of the most unique films I have ever, or will ever see. It should be required watching for all film buffs as there are so many references to other films in there.
Will watch again!
