Entirely Splendid

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2019)

Jim Carrey, at this point, was known for doing comedies. But then he decided to try something different when he agreed to star in The Truman Show.
This movie is where Carrey plays an insurance man, Truman Burbank, and his whole life has just been a t.v show broadcasted 24 hours everyday. He doesn't know it until he suspects very odd things going on, and must find a way to escape it.
The Truman Show was a pretty good movie. It's not entirely a comedy, but you do tend to get some chuckles out of it. It would classify it as a comedy-drama.
Jim Carrey gave a wonderful performance, and manage to pull off some really good dramatic work. This proves that he doesn't have to be funny in every single movie he is in. He can just act normal and serious, and it makes the movie worth it.
Similar to the movie Fight Club, this is one of those movies where the story is really good and easy to understand, but there are moments that can confuse you, to where you would have to watch it again and you can understand and enjoy it even more. I've only seen this once and I think it had some moments that were strange and confusing, but if I were to rewatch it again, I can comprehend it better and enjoy this movie even more.
Bottom line, The Truman Show is a pretty good movie and is easily Jim Carrey's best dramatic movie he has done.
