Review by Nonia Bidness
We Miss you Andy
Pros: good coverage of Andy's career
Cons: no one can play him well enough!
Warning: This review reveals minor details about the movie's plot
I felt sadly let down after seeing this film, and I finally figured out why.
I wanted it to bring me Andy Kaufman back.
The man was a comic genius, albeit a somewhat strange personality, who always had things cooking.
I thought Jim Carrey did as good a job as someone could who was not Andy Kaufman.
He even managed to look like Andy at times.
He could not get his Elvis to be as spot-on perfect as Andy's and there was a lot of time when I just ached for the real Andy as I watched Jim try his best to be him, throughout the movie.
I can't put more of a finger on why I felt a little disappointed by this one.
Other than just plain missing someone I never really knew, but dearly loved and deeply miss.
Bang for the Buck: Go to the half-price matinee
