 | I rented this recently because I heard good things about it everywhere, and am a huge Jim Carrey fan but really knew nothing about Andy Kaufman. I can say that this is one of the best movies I have ever seen and came away with a deep appreciation of Andy Kaufman as well as a deep fascination. It is a funny yet serious look inside a great and eclectic man. Makes you wonder if he had lived, what a mind like his would have come up with, maybe the next great thing whatever that might have been. Very sad and ironic the way he lived and the way he died. I don't think you will be let down by this one. Even if you, as I, knew little about Andy Kaufman, you will enjoy Jim Carrey's performance for sure. Possibly the most under rated and under appreciated actor of our time. |

| Jim Carrey diserved an oscar for his incredible performance in
this movie! I've been a big fan of Andys, since I was a kid. I
never new he was such a psycho. Andys standup comedy routines
were absolutely hilarious! Jim Carrey did as good a job,
bringing Andy back, as Jamie Foxx did, bringing Ray back! If
you're a fan of Andys, you have to see this amazing film! |

| I am a fan of both Jim Carrey's and Milos Forman's work. Both are true artists that never stop to amaze me with their work. I didn't know who was Andy Kaufman before watching this film, but I left the theatre on 2000 delighted with what I had seen on the screen. A biopic about an excentric man directed by the always efficient and talented Milos Forman(One Flew Over the Cucoo's Nest, Amadeus, People Vs Larry Flint).
Not many people like this film, but those who do, like me, can see the genius of Carrey's performance, which is much more than an Andy Kaufman impersonation. He is a great actor when given the right material. The guy can do anything.
I stongly recommend this film to anyone who likes good cinema.

| This is a very good film about the so called comic legend Andy Kaufman. So well beloved as Latka on Taxi and so well hated for just being Andy. He was kind of like the school house bully. He seemed to take delight in making people mad at him. Probably why he ventured into pro wrestling. Jim Carey is dead on as Andy. I think most perfect moment is at the end where Andy is getting a weird treatment to cure his cancer. The man who took delight at deceiving people gets deceived himself. Irony can be so Ironic (A yogi berra quote) Some call Kaufman a genious . I disagree. He was just a person who took delight at others misery and hated anyone who didnt like his type of bad humor. As Latka he will be missed. As Andy Kaufman he will not . Great film |

| Being a European I had never heard of Andy Kaufmann, when I first watched this movie. The film gave me a great introduction to a very special comedian and a unique sense of humour. I'm happy to have been made aware of Andy Kaufmann.
Being a Jim Carrey fan, especially of his more serious acting, I enjoyed the movie from the first to the last second. More than anything it shows Jim Carrey's wide range as an actor. He does the wonderfully obnoxious Tony Clifton, the awkward nerdy private Andy and the sensitive, cancer-struck Andy. He should have had an Oscar - but of course this comes from someone who has never seen the real Andy Kaufmann perform.
Not being a Danny DeVito fan in particular, I can still say I enjoyed his performance in this film.
What can I say - Tony Clifton makes me laugh! |
