| Man On The Moon is the Story of Andy Kaufman, one of the most famous (and odd) song and dance men (not comedian) of all time. From the beginning, this movie choronicles his entire life. Everthing from Andy's start in night clubs, to his run on the popular TV show "Taxi, Tony Clifton and his controviersial pranks, to his sad and untimely death, and it truly does him justice. In the film Jim Carrey is Andy Kaufman giving one of his finest if not the finest performance of his career. Carrey's performance by far made this movie worth watching. His strong performance help overcome the parts of the film's plot that started to drag from time to time. One interesting aspect that made this film very special, was that many of the characters were played by there real life counterparts... a very nice touch. Another aspect I found very endearing was the amount of heart the film had. It showed Andy in a different light, not that of a crazy wild man, but as person who simply believed in enjoying life and not taking things to seriously. This film does a superb job of portraying, but again, the acting of Jim Carrey makes it real. There were times while watching this film I had to remind myself that was really Jim Carrey and not Andy Kaufman! All in all his film is very enjoyable and has very little wrong with it, if anything at all. |
