Jim Carrey+breakthrough performance=great movie

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 1999)

This movie is one of the very few ever made that makes you laugh and cry at the same time. A work of pure genius, The Truman Show showcases Jim Carrey's enormous talents as an unaware man called Truman Burbank who has been taped his entire life without knowing it.However, he starts noticing things and becomes quite suspicious of his surroundings. What goes from there is pure moviemaking magic. It's a shame that Carrey didn't even get nominated for his role at the academy awards because he more than deserved it. My rating:4 out of 4 stars
