Broccoli F Dull as f**k. I couldn’t finish it. A campy cliche of celebrity mistaking itself for genius. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Gary K I was nervous about watching this documentary as to whether it would be just flat information. I was pleasantly surprised at the format. Andy Kaufman was so far ahead of the curve in his time. It can be said that probably only Bob Zmuda would be the only other person that lived inside Andy's head and therefore understood all of the jokes (unless you count Tony Clifton!) Enter Jim Carrey. Jim chose the method acting approach for the Andy (and Tony) character. The only way to truly do so was to make the same exact connection with Bob Zmuda, which he did, and then Jim BECAME Andy (and/or Tony.) To see Jim sit in the chair with the beard retell things now when he was fully Jim and NOT be Andy was actually unsettling as it seemed that he couldn't be Andy any longer. THAT'S how deep into the mind of Andy/Tony Jim had become on and off camera during the making of Man On The Moon. This is, by far, one of the best documentaries that I have seen in years and recommend it to anyone that has seen Man On The Moon and wants to know more about that time in Jim's life. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 34 minutes in memory of Andy Kaufman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/30/23 Full Review Mike J I loved it but the part when Andy (Jim) discusses how he talked to the late Andys daughter as if he were actually her father I found uncomfortable. Then at the end how Carrey he says he could just be anyone, even Jesus Christ, I thought his wise and worn persona crumbled somewhat and we saw the mam and his huge ego. Great film, enjoyed it, especially the parts harking back to the film set. Tony Clifton, what a guy! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/22/23 Full Review Aaron S It's undeniably fascinating as a character study of both Carrey and Kaufman. The spin in this doc is that this form of methodology is almost a spiritual journey that simultaneously pulls one toward and also pushes away the self. While this may be true, there's no world where Carrey doesn't come out of this not appearing to be an asshole drunk on power. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review C. M Didnt like this film at all. Dragged on. Boring ending. I dont recommend Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/22 Full Review Read all reviews
