Time to make some enemies on imdb! I like it!

Rating: 6/10 (2 March 1999)

I note some imdb reviewers comments. Those people who describe The Truman Show as "boring" or "not funny" completely miss the point. I would venture to suggest that they are the kind of individuals who watched every episode of Dallas or Dynasty (or for my fellow Brits, Coronation Street or Eastenders). These types do not like to have their addiction mocked, which this movie does so well. REAL life is not perfect, with every little thing being organised to suit. As someone once said, "s**t happens". Although I may not have cast the admittedly excellent Carrey as Truman, his eventual desire to find out if "the truth is out there" is human nature at it's most real. Don't we all want to know the truth to our lives? Overall an original movie, and God knows, there are few enough of them. Check it out, and don't forget to engage brain before viewing!!
