Pros: Well-written, insightful, wonderful movie Cons: Doesn't delve deep into the mind, focuses more on the surface
Man on the Moon is a well-written insightful movie into the life of Andy Kaufman. It does a good job of letting us know who this man was that stunned audiences worldwide with his off-color wit and humor.
Pros: Jim Carrey, detailed, funny Cons: Sad Ending
I came to this movie for one big reason, JIM CARREY. Jim Carrey has to be on of my all time favorite actors. He lights up every character he plays, just as he has done with Andy Kaufman.
Prior to this movie, I really never watched or even...
Pros: Characterizations that envelope you and bring you into the film. Cons: I would have liked to see his childhood explored a little more.
I went to see "Man on the Moon" on a whim. Perhaps, I was subconsciously emulating Andy Kaufman. My husband and I had spent a miserable afternoon at the DMV (doesn't everyone), and he offered to make the evening better with dinner and a...
Pros: Allstar Rendition of the Life of a Genius Cons: Courtney Love, and I swear that's it.
There is a reason why one of my most favorite words is "Brilliant". When Daniel DeVito uttered these words during the showing of "Man on the Moon", it was forever cemented. Andy Kauffman was certainly the most Brilliant comedian...
Pros: Monumental work by Forman and Carrey in setting the record on Kaufman straight... Cons: May be too explicit for some audiences...
For most audiences in the 80's, Andy Kaufman was remembered in the 'before' and 'after', first as the bumbling, lovable mechanic Latka in the Taxi TV sitcom, then as the oddball huckster who intruded into the ranks of pro wrestling and nearly had ...
Pros: Really good acting, made you believe you were watching Kauffman Cons: pacing could have used some examining
Man on the Moon is the life story of Andy Kaufman. There is no question that Kaufman was brilliant, and that when he chose to do so, he could charm and mystify his audience. The problems that he faced were almost all self-inflicted damage. At times...
Pros: Great cast, unpredictable and compelling story. Cons: Missed seeing SNL cast other than Lorne Michaels in film. Didn't show less memorable appearances on TV with Dick Van Dyke and others.
It's extremely difficult to have an accurate perspective on who ANDY KAUFMAN was. Was he an out of control genius or just an off the wall prankster? One will never know. Jim Carrey's performance showed ANDY KAUFMAN as charismatic, sensitive and...
Pros: There are some really funny moments, Carrey's performance Cons: The movie left me with an eerie feeling when I wanted a comedy
As a kid/ teen I lead a very sheltered life. My idea of acting very rebellious was going to a boy's house after church choir practice and watching Taxi with him and his parents. On a particularly wild night, we might share a Twinkie or something. I...
Pros: great movie about Andy Kaufman's life Cons: in reality, none
I've heard people describe the movie as "plotless" or just simply "bad". They're wrong and they're ignorant. The movie's plot is the story of Andy Kaufman's life. It's not a Jim Carey movie, and it's not for everybody who thought...
Pros: Imaginative, funny, etc.. Cons: Maybe you wouldn't want to know the real truth behind some of it.
I'm no Kaufman buff, but I have seen and heard about some of the stuff that he did over the years, so some of the stuff in this movie was rather surprising to me(being that I'm only 18). For a biopic this one is extremely imaginative and depictive. How...
Pros: Jim Carrey delivers the performance of his life. Cons: Kaufman-haters need an open mind to watch--something they might not use here.
As contrevrsial as people like Howard Stern, Tonya Harding, John Rocker, and Eminem were/are, no one, I repeat, NO ONE has angered and entertained more people at the same time than Andy Kaufman. Andy has made many a person pull their hair by the roots...
Pros: Academy Awards are deserved!! Cons: the middle sags!
As a major critic of Jim Carrey I am amazinglly finding myself able to believe he was Andy Kauffman in the movie Man on the Moon.
Ever since movies such as Ace Ventura, and the Mask, it has been increasingly difficult for me to take Carrey as a...
Pros: about a man that was brilliant in his line of work Cons: I had to see it twice to fully understand it
You know, there is a lot of critics that bashed this movie, for being weird and very hard to follow. I realize that Most of these critics were not fans of Andy Kaufman, but why see the movie if you are not a fan?
I also realize...
Pros: Amazing performance by Carrey, very funny Cons: Not as informative as many people wanted
I predict that within the next few years, Jim Carrey will go the way of Tom Hanks. What I mean is that Carrey will still do comedies, but still put out films that make the critics say "Oscar". If he is not nominated for Man on the Moon, I...
Pros: About as real as it gets Cons: Should I laugh, fringe, or cry?
I really couldn't tell you about this movie because honestly there's not really a plot to it. "It's about Andy Kaufman" is all I can say. For all of you who remember him (whether you liked him or not) will be totally brought back to him....
Jim Carrey hilariously portrays the late Andy Kaufman in this entertaining comedy. One of the most innovative and enigmatic performers of his time, An...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
