Boy, was it fun having Andy Kaufman get a movie. This movie isn't bad either...Jim Carrey is great as Kaufman onstage. But that's the problem with this film. It showcases Kaufman's on stage persona wonderfully, but we don't get much off-stage. Carrey's off-stage Kaufman comes off as a spaced out fool, and not much more. There is just not enough insight into Kaufman himself for this to be much more than a re-enacment of Kaufman's greatest pranks and hoaxes.
