Jim Carrey won a Golden Globe Award for his performance as the legendary comedian Andy Kaufman in this 1999 biopic that also features Danny DeVito, Courtney Love and Paul Giamatti. With his boundary pushing absurdity and perpetual blurring of the lines between performance and real-life, Kaufman remains a vital influence for many contemporary comics. Though filled with brilliance, mystery and, of course, laughs, the film forces us to question if Kaufman took his jokes a little too far.
"What the filmmakers have accomplished here is the simplest and best thing they possibly could have done. For two hours, they have brought Andy back to us just as we remember him – brilliant, provocative and, yes, very funny." - Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
