| You may think Universal has intended this tagline, which has been
attached to the poster and commercial advertising campaign of the new
Andy Kaufman biopic, merely to reveal the role Carrey is playing. But
there is more to it than just that. Carrey...more |

| Man on the Moon's big draw isn't Andy Kaufman. That would be too big a
gamble, as his comedy takes a refined sense of humor to appreciate, to say
the least. Likely, Milos Forman was aware of this, so he tried to shift
things ever so slightly, away from...more |

| "Man on the Moon" is Milos Forman's biopic of the late "Taxi" star
who succumbed to a rare strain of lung cancer following a short-lived
career carved out by an eccentric style of humor and elaborate pranks that
kept his audiences guessing. more |

| Despite hopes by many, myself included that the new "biopic" Man on the
Moon might shed some light on the enigmatic existence of comedian Andy
Kaufman, the man remains a mystery. This is less of a biography than it
is a series of reenactments. Director...more |

| To me, Andy Kaufman was some semi-talented actor who
spent a few years on a show called Taxi. I never
really watched the show, except when I was channel
surfing and happened to catch it for a minute or two.
I couldn't even tell you any of the...more |

| Man on the Moon is a brilliant movie that tells you absolutely nothing
about its subject. At the end of two hours you are no closer to
understanding what made Andy Kaufman (Jim Carrey) so zany, innovative or
genius. Rather, you come away with a...more |

it told a story, it wasn't a smooth narrative progression, rather it
was series of disconnected feeling moment that when put together gave

| The greatest and most important piece of art that any artist can produce is
his or her life. There is no single painting, song, book or poem that can
compare to the journey one makes and the body of work that is evidence of it. more |
