Over-hyped and overrated

Rating: Null/10 (12 January 1999)

When "The Truman Show" was originally relased, I was eagerly awaiting the chance to see it...I'm glad I missed it... I went into my recent rental viewing with the same attitude I go into all movies that generate a lot of hype, "this sucks".....well, I was right...
Other than Jim Carrey's Truman, all of the other characters were wooden, and poorly acted. Laura Linney's Merel was the worst offender, as was the Marlon, the best friend (I don't remember the actor's name,not will I even attempt to find it, as it would be a waste of time)
The ending was possibly the worst I've seen to date, leaving you with a "that's it?" feeling in the pit of your stomach....If you haven't seen it yet, let me save you the trouble. HE GETS OUT OF THE SHOW BY WALKING THROUGH A DOOR!!!!!!!!!
I wasted 3.75 on a rental and an hour and 45 minutes on this, I know many of you will disagree with me, but this is simple fact.....The Truman Show should be cancelled
