Review of The Truman Show (1998) by Brad S — 30 Jun 2013

I probably missed out on the "special-ness" of this movie by not seeing it in 1998. In 2013, it still holds up, and certainly shows us where TV has gone in the past 15 years. It may have even been one of the catalysts.

I'm just not a fan of Jim Carrey's extremely comic and over-the-top performances, so it's hard for me to get past that in this film. But the concept and story is strong. I just think this movie would hold up better with different casting.
