A good movie

When I heard about this flick, I was really intrigued. Indeed, I really loved Milos Forman’s previous movie, ‘The People vs. Larry Flynt’, and the guy was coming up with a biographical tale about another celebrity. On top of that, Jim Carrey really impressed me with ‘The Truman Show’ so it was really neat that the guy was showing up a year later in another high profile drama. Eventually... read more

It is truly sad that we have to wait until a person is dead and gone to give him or her the honor they should have received while alive. Andy Kaufman was a man of many talents, and I saw him only as this funny little man on a TV show called, "Taxi" with a cute accent. Who could not fall in love with that person he was on "Taxi"?

A biopic based on the life of Andy Kaufman, an eccentric comedian who went onto enjoy a career as lovable foreign car mechanic Latka Gravas on TV's "Taxi" and later gained infamy as an inter-gender wrestling champ. The film studies some of Kaufman's comedy antics as well as his personal life and his relationship with his manager George Shapiro, his best friend/partner Bob Zmuda and his girlfriend Lynne Margulies.

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1929 movies items)

" Jim Carrey, proved that he is a comedic actor. He is also a really great dramatic actor, too if given half the chance. With his performance as the late, great Andy Kaufman (some believe that he is still alive, to this very day), after seeing Man in the Moon, it’s hard to know when Andy ended, and Jim began. He should have been nominated, and won for best actor at the Oscars that year. "
