Review of Man on the Moon (1999) by James C — 21 Jun 2009
The life story of comic genius and madman Andy Kaufman.
Didn't know that much about Andy Kaufman before watching this film, so I had no preconceptions of what it should be like. Jim Carrey gives a heart-warming performance and is always at his best when he is not being completely over-the-top. A very well made film that was unfortunately let down by the 'enigmatic' ending. Have been reading about Andy Kaufman, and have now found out that the movie takes quite a few liberties with his life-story, so whether it can be classed as a biopic or not is questionable.
