Andres Gomez
6/10Interesting movie tailored to Jim Carrey. In any case, probably more interesting for those who lived in US and in the time Andy Kaufman became a celebrity.

Andre Gonzales
8/10Great movie perfect for Andy Kaufman. Throughout the film you could barely tell that it's Jim Carey. It's like watching Andy Kaufman all over again.

6/10I do vaguely recall Andy Kaufman in "Taxi" but the remainder of this rather zany depiction of his life just reminded me of a compendium of the "Goon Show" meets "Mork and Mindy". His sense of what was entertaining was eclectic to say the least, and his stand-up routines reminded me a little of Peter Sellers when he was using his exaggerated (European) accents to try and get a laugh. Nobody is much interested in…
