A biographical film on the late comedian Andy Kaufman. Kaufman, along with his role on Taxi (1978), was famous for being the self-declared Intergender Wrestling Champion of the world. After beating women time and time again, Jerry Lawler (who plays himself in the movie), a professional wrestler, got tired of seeing all of this and decided to challenge Kaufman to a match. In most of the matches the two had, Lawler prevailed with the piledriver, which is a move by spiking an opponent head-first into the mat. One of the most famous moments in this feud was in the early 80s when Kaufman threw coffee on Lawler on [error], got into fisticuffs with Lawler, and proceeded to sue NBC.
Leave your thoughts about Man on the Moon.
| New York PostLou LumenickLess a conventional biography than a performance film - one that stuns and delights. |
| JeremyJahns.comJeremy JahnsI really do feel Jim Carey deserved at least an Oscar nomination for his performance...Man on the Moon is fascinating, really well acted and really well directed. |
| Baltimore SunAnn HornadayActually moves, whisking the audience on a funny, sad and extraordinary journey through a singularly compelling moment in American pop culture. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittLess a biography than an essay on theatrical illusion and the changing nature of comedy. Love it or hate it, you've never seen anything quite like it. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanJim Carrey's performance is an impersonation on the level of genius. |
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestCarrey's portrayal is dead-on, with all the little mannerisms and voice inflections. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickBoth wildly entertaining and strangely moving. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWhat is most wonderful about Man on the Moon, a very good film, is that it remains true to Kaufman's stubborn vision. |
| Film Quips OnlineJohn R. McEwenWill appeal to Kaufman fans and Carrey fans alike, and even if you're not a fan of either, you can't deny the intriguing quality of this strange story and the skill with which it's told. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsShay CaseyThe irony here is that everyone who is disappointed with this film, everyone who didn't get what they expected, are those that would be clowned by Andy consistently. So a lot of people are going to dislike Forman's film. So what? |
