Jim Carrey portreyed Andy Kaufman so xcently that i think that everyone that
is a Kaufnan fan should defenitely see this one! it brought me to tears.
however if you are not a big fan i don't think that you will like this movie
too much.

I thought it was wonderful! I used to watch Andy on taxi and Jim Carey
portrayed him beautifully. I would LOVE to see this movie over and over
again.

This movie carefully pieced together the person of Andy kauffman. It
told of his life but more importantly it captured his brilliance. i
literally walked away from this movie feeling a sense of awe as I knew I
witnessed a genius. A MUST SEE!!!!

I saw Man On The Moon last night with my 2 friends & I loved it!It felt
like I was sitting there for anout 4 hours,but it was the best movie I saw
in a long time.Not being silly or smart but I laughed,I cried,I was
very..very confused. This movie should be seen even if you don't know who
Andy was.I didn't,me being 14 & all...but I found out a bit about his
character(s)before I went to see it,I still loved it. Thanx

I'm only 18 years of age, but I have seen quite a few movies in my time.
My dad is a film fanatic so I have seen just as many old movies as new. I
was introduced to Andy Kaufman at an early age, and a great fascination
within me grew like a wildfire. I have seen many documetaries on him
and his trials and tribulations as he went through his career as a
"performer." I've always wanted to be a movie critic, and I
think that I have the knowledge, ability, "want-to," and
"know-how" in order to accomplish that goal. As I watched
this movie, it amazed me at the way Jim Carrey had prepared himself to
"be" Andy Kaufman. Some of the things that the movie showed
Kaufman doing amazed the ppl around me because they had no idea. But
for me, knowing all that I do about him, I wasn't that shocked, if at all.
The movie was great from the point of view of someone wanting to watch a
good movie, and for me, the ending was magnificant. I wasn't at all
expecting Tony Clifton to be anyone other than Zmuda. That made the
whole movie worth while. To leave the audience in suspense and
pondering on the thought that maybe, just maybe Kaufman did stage his death.
Or that...well the imagination is the limit on that. I would probably
give the movie an overall rating of an 85, but since you just had the scores
rounded off to the nearest ten, i rounded up. I enjoyed the movie, and
you couldn't have impressed me more with how you made it. I am simply
amazed at how you could possibly come up with someone (Carrey) to portray
another individual so profound and "household" as Andy Kaufman was
and in many senses still is today, and make it seem "realistic" is
an accomplishment in itself. It was simply amazing. Now that i
think about it, i may have to go with an 87. It did start to drag some
in the middle, but so did Kaufman's career. I appreciate the movie,
and bravo on a job well done.

I enjoyed this movie quite a bit and would recomend it to anyone however the
ending somewhat cofused me. Did Andy fake his own death

It is is great movie with great acting, but there is one confusing part that
I cannot figure out, even now. (at the end)When Andy dies and Tony is on
stage, but the only other guy that can play Tony is in the audience. So, did
Andy really die or what??? I guess someone that reads this, please, PLEASE
e-mail me at DMMfan@aol.com
and let me know, this is really bugging me, thank you.

I didn't know much about Andy until I saw the movie, but it was so funny! I
especially love the scene in the college where he just read a book. And the
voices were hilarious. Many thumbs up!!!!!!!

The acting in the movie was ok, but the life of Andy Kaufman made for a poor
movie. Jim Carrey did a great job of portraying Andy, but the humor in
the movie wasn't my cup of tea.

This was absolutly the best movie that I have ever seen in my entire
LIFE!!!!!! I have seen it only twice and I am always wanting to see it! It
is most definatly a MUST SEE!!! I think everybody should see it, even if
they dont understand it, just to be exposed to such a great movie!!! Jim
Carrey was wonderful as playing Andy Kaufman. I am incredibly glad that he
won an award for this movie, because he really deserved it.

My name is Chris and I'm 16 yaers of age. I did not now who Andy
Kaufman was until I first saw the previews for the movie. I thought
well Jim Carrey is one of my favorite actors so why dont I go see it.
I left the movie absolutely amazed. It has to be one of the best
movies I have ever seen in my life. I left the movie theater thinking
how in the world could this be based on a true story, how could one man have
such comic genius? I decided to do a little research on Kaufman, so I
read Bob Zmuda's book on Kaufman, and I admit that there were a few parts
left out of the movie, but it was still an excellent movie. Carrey
needs serious Oscar consideration for this role. Anybody who thinks
this move is awful or even OK is an IDIOT, and they have no sense of humor
what so ever, and you who think that Carrey should pick comedy or drama, may
I remind you of actors and actresses such as Leslie Nielson, who was a
serious actor for years and then went on to do the Naked Gun Series and
other VERY comical movies, and Helen Hunt,who worked on the set of a very
funny sitcom for years and went on to win an Oscar for a serious role in a
movie. So to you who think that this movie sucked or was even OK, you
are unbelievably stupid and probably like movies such as The Talented Mr
Ripley(Do not even get me going on that piece of garbage that made its way
to the silver screen by way of some miracle!!!!!)

I thought this movie was one of the best movie's i've seen in a while. Jim
Carrey's performance was awesome and so inspiring. I wish this movie got
more recognition than it did. I can't believe it didn't get an oscar
nomination!! Well Jim Carey gets the Best Actor Award in my mind!!

I'm
from Switzerland and I just saw "Man on the Moon". The movie just
opened in Switzerland this week. Unfortunately, I'm only 25, so I don't know
the real Andy Kaufman (especially because I never saw anything like
"Taxi" or "Saturday Night Live" in Switzerland) so it's
quite difficult for me to really understand the movie. But one thing really
interests me -and it is maybe the most important part in the movie- it is
the story of his own death. I read your reviews and thougt, maybe you could
tell me something about his death. Did he really fake his own death or who
is Tony Clifton one year after his death in the movie ?? Thanks

Jim Carrey is just as cool as always in this movie, i totally love his
performance as Andy Kaufman. I've never thought i should see an actor as
great as Jim Carrey, he is my idol now and forever... love Martin from

Definitely, one of the best "portrait of a strange man" I've ever
seen. Jim Carrey at his very best.

I just got back from seeing this film ( in London ) I have to say it was
excellent but I feel the film did not go nearly enough of the way in
expressing some of the more complex sides of andy kauffman instead just
making it look like he did practical joke after practical joke,,
having said this making this movie is not an easy task.,,, I feel Andy would
have enjoyed that 1st part but the rest was not made in the spirit of
Andy,,, I also thought Jim Carrey was very very good

Hello, my name is Karlheinz and I'm from Munich in Germany. I've never
heard anything about Andy Kaufman but we read an articel in our newspaper
about "man in the moon". The movie was really great and it's
very interesting to see how people live always in a "show" and
believe what they see. There were some fascinating scenes within this
movie. Always worth to be seen. Wonderful Jim Carrey.

I just saw Man On The Moon and it was GREAT!!! It's the second best movie
(Fight Club is the best!)in the world! Jim should have gotten an Oscar
nomination for that! It was his best movie ever! I think
that, not every person will get it but those who will won't think that
it's just ok. They'll think that it's one of the best ever made! If you
don't get it, don't blame the movie!!!

Jim
Carrey's performance as Andy Kaufman/Tony Clifton is remarkable, memorable
and spine tingling. No one currently working in the business could
have done a better Andy. Some of the dramatic scenes were weak, and
the casting choice of Courtney Love as Andy's girlfriend was a poor one.
However, the comedy is beyond brilliant and the unexpected surprises
lurking in the sketches gives this movie some personality and a uniqueness
that one won't easily find in other comedic dramas.
