A revelation for Carrey

Rating: Null/10 (15 January 1999)

I went into this film not knowing what to expect. What I DIDN'T expect was funny man Jim Carrey to keep his trade mark rubber face looking quite human. In fact, he is great in this. The Truman Show is a well made, emotional, affecting film. It really makes you think about the world that you perceive as real. I can't help thinking though, that without a Hollywood star in the main role, The Truman Show would never have been successful. Are audiences really that fickle?
