Man on the Moon : 3 of 5

I'm sure you'll remember how much I hate Jim Carrey, but I watched this anyway since I was interested in Andy Kaufman (and iced in my parents house in Oklahoma, to boot). I thought the movie was fascinating and sad - Carrey does his best to be Kaufman, though it becomes apparent how far away he is when watching the actual Kaufman footage on the DVD. The film does a great job of hiding what's reality and what's not, so we can discover things as they happen. I haven't decided if Andy was a genius or not, but I do know that I've heard that REM song about a hundred times too often.
