Man on the Moon
Filed under M - DVD Movie ClubStill not sure how you feel about Jim Carrey as an actor? I know I’m not. In certain movies I love him and want to have his babies, but in others I can’t stand anything about him. Example. The Truman Show + The Mask = complete contradiction in how many of Jim Carrey’s babies I want to have. Man on the Moon is a bio-pic that sees Carrey in the role of Andy Kaufman, a controversial, half-crazed comedian who was known for his random and erratic performances. He does a good job with the character, and is actually the perfect candidate for the task. The variety of impressions and personas he pulls off are astounding; you really have to do a double-take sometimes to believe he does both Kaufman and Tony Clifton, one of his less appealing alter-egos. Altogether a decent film worth a good look into the ‘true story’ life of a celebrity.
