Jim Carrey gives a magnificent performance - the best I`ve ever seen him give - as he portrays the man, the myth, the enigma - Andy Kaufman. With an all star cast, featuring Danny DeVito, the whole of the original Taxi cast and Courtney Love, this biographical story of Andy Kaufman`s life is a funny yet touching one.
With exclusive actual Andy Kaufman footage, deleted scenes and two R.E.M. music videos, you will not be dissapointed with this movie or any of it`s features, and it is a must for any Carrey or Kaufman fans.

The life and (supposed) death of Andy Kaufman is well covered in Milos Foreman`s best film since One Flew Over The Cuckoo`s Nest (1975)

Only two things let the film down:

-- Courtney Love (grrrrr)

-- A script that treats Andy like a kid that never grew up.

Having said that, it`s still a great film.
