*The Truman SPOILERS*
Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) is the first child legally adopted by a corporation; but more importantly he is the star of the NÂ°1 'Reality' show, 'The Truman Show', created by mogul Kristof (Ed Harris).
His life seems idyllic, despite having lost his father when he was young, but when he crosses paths with Lauren (Natascha McElhone), as a College Student, and she tells him that her real name's Sylvia and that he's into a TV show, he begins to have some doubts.
Doubts that come back with a vengeance when on Day 10,909 something weird falls from the sky; and as the days pass, he notices other things, and ends up suspecting that everyone, from his mother (Holland Taylor) to his boss (Peter Krause), to his wife (Laura Linney) and to his best friend (Noah Emmerich).
So he decides to face his fears and find out if his suspects are real...
The movie that showed Jim Carrey was an actual actor and not just a buffoon, this almost-10-year-old classic is surprisingly plausible as a worst-case scenario of the 'reality show' craze - and it was made before them.
Kudos to every actor, especially Peter Krause, who manages to shine in a really little part.
The Truman Show: 9/10.
