Not what I expected at all The beginning of this film was very annoying. After it picked up the pace and established Andy Kaufman not only as a huge loser, but a comedic genious, it got slightly better. It's not Jim Carrey that annoys me, because I think he's a terrific actor. It's Kaufman. The fact that he thought he was funny and didn't give two craps about his audience was the worst part. This film's first half portrayed him as a huge ass, but as the film progressed we learn more about Andy's inner-self and non-comedic life. I soon realized that this was an excellent biopic with one amazing performance from Jim Carrey. In the last 30 minutes of this film, it felt like it was a whole different movie. It changed from annoying to hilarious and emotional. The funeral scene was very sad and possibly one of the saddest from recent films. The best part of this entire film was the last scene. It could be interpreted a few different ways, but the way I took it was that Andy was still alive and playing yet another prank on the world. It's what he did best, like he said. To fake your own death is beyond cruel, but this film shows that side of Andy and takes a risk to put this in the film when it is not a known fact. I think it makes the character of Andy Kaufman that much more interesting. A solid film from Milos Forman, but not great on my scale. email this review to a friend
