    Don’t hesitate and watch it!!

    I have always appreciated Andy Kaufman for his dadaisticly irrational performances and that’s why I had been looking forward to this movie long time before its release. I will give two main reasons why it is desirable to see it

    First is very simple – life of Andy Kaufman is full of absurdity (which was exactly what he wanted). In a totally serious way he shows us that it is not always needed to take life too seriously. His shows still make people think about the border between irrationality, imagination and reality and also about what makes the joke to be funny

    Second main reason is Jim Carrey. I must admit I was shocked when I first heard about Jim Carrey being the one to represent Andy Kaufman. I knew Carrey was a great comedian acceptable for movies such as Ace Ventura, but how could he cope with role of man, whose performances stunned many people all over the world, but who never considered himself to be a real comedian. Would he not turn it into another crazy comedy? Fortunatly he did not, contrary – his performance was absolutely brilliant and in cooperation with the director Milos Forman he created deathly authentic picture of Andy Kaufman. I know there has been written countless number of pages about Jim Carreys act, but in this case it is always worth it to emphasize Carrey’s superiority – despite my initiatory doubts it might have been the best performance I have ever seen. Not getting an Oscar for an actor in main role is totally beyond all understanding for me. Some might find it as an audacious statement, but in comparison with actors in different biographical movies as ‘Ray’ or ‘Walk the line’ (Jamie Foxx and Joaquin Phoenix) Carrey’s part was much more complicated and the result was even better than in two above mentioned Oscar awarded movies (however i do not mean to down performances of Foxx or Phoenix).

    To me this movie is a real masterpiece…

    Thank you very much

    The first time I saw Andy Kaufman was on the Saturday Night Live 15th anniversary show. In the clips from the first 5 years, they showed a few seconds of his Mighty Mouse thing, and I found it strange and funny. Since then, I’ve seen him on old Saturday Night Live shows, and comedian specials, and seen a few old Taxi episodes(though I was never a big fan), and found him to be quite strange, but also quite funny. So I was really looking forward to this movie, and I was not disappointed

    I agree with the person who said to try and find out the mystery behind Kaufman would have undoubtedly gotten it wrong. Instead, we get a look inside his art, and if you don’t find him funny, you’re not going to like this movie(and I have no problem with those who don’t like the movie for that reason). Viewers may also be thrown by the fact that the movie, as demonstrated in the opening scene, is a series of ‘is that real or just a put on?’ episodes(in a way, this reminded me of PENN AND TELLER GET KILLED, which is similarly constructed). But it stays true to Kaufman and his performance style, and I found it offbeat and, yes, funny

    I do have a couple of minor quibbles. I don’t know the entire story, but there are a couple of facts fudged. For example, the way Kaufman left Saturday Night Live is not quite true(if they had done the true story, it would have been even funnier). Also, Courtney Love is not as good as she was in THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT, though she does have moments. But, as I said, those are minor quibbles. Particularly high among the virtues is, of course, Jim Carrey as Kaufman. It took me awhile for him to ‘disappear’ into the role, as so many people said he did, but he is amazing and constantly keeps us off balance and laughing, as does the entire movie.
