Elvis Has Left The Building

Advantages: Solid performances and a very good script
Disadvantages: Uncomfortable viewing at times, if you don't like Carey you won't like this

...the confusion which surrounded the man and his actions. Kaufman was infamous for his charades and practical jokes, many of which were in dubious taste and are highlighted in this film. Even when he died of lung cancer at a very young age (35), many were disbelieving; thinking that it was just another ruse to satisfy his need to amuse or shock and push the boundaries of taste. In fact here was reported to have been a 'Welcome Home Andy Party' on the ...
...feel some empathy for the man to take an interest in what is unfolding. It seems appropriate that Carrey should play the lead here as he himself seems to elicit the whole spectrum of reactions to his performances and on screen persona. That aside, Carrey has an aura where you just wonder what is going through that mind of his. In playing Kaufman, that seems ideal aisde from the fact that he also does a perfect Latka Gravas accent.

A biopic for the sake of it....

Advantages: Good performance from Jim Carrey.
Disadvantages: We don’t get to know much about Kaufman bar recreations of his performances.

...the audience to like the man for what he was: a funny, kooky guy. In short, we witness Jim Carrey recreate many of Kaufman’s routines notoriously as an Elvis impersonator (superb considering the circumstances....Carrey’s imitating Kaufman who’s imitating Elvis after all....). But what of such unpleasant characters created by Kaufman such as the lounge singer Tony Clifton? Of his need to wrestle with women in public performances? ...
...all given an airing BUT never fully answered. Kaufman never did keep a journal, which may make the film feel as though it was nothing but just speculation and the script and story by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski is very polite and respectful. It never presumes anything OR prepares to take a chance AND expects us to fully understand things with cursive and offhand proceedings (such as the appearance of Kaufman’s girlfriend Lynne as ...

A beginners guide to Andy Kaufman

Advantages: Great if you don't know Andy Kaufman.
Disadvantages: Not as in depth as the book.

...top all the time. Man on the moon is the story of Andy Kaufman who rose to fame in America in the TV sitcom “Taxi” which also starred Judd Hirch (Golblums dad in Independence Day). What was more interesting about Andy than his TV show appearances was his own comedy routines which were quite unlike comedy routines of the time. Sketches dramatised in the movie include “Tony Clifton” and his famous rhyming (chicken - lickin ...
...bad guy wrestler in which Andy spent several years wrestling women in his own inter-gender wrestling matches much to the disgust of most people who didn’t realise it was a joke. The movie follows Andy from his early childhood to his stand up routines and finally to his tragic death from cancer in 1984 aged 35. The movie tells the story well and you get a good sense of who Andy Kaufman was. It's not the greatest story ever told but it is interesting ...

Expect To Be Surprised

Advantages: Extremely good performance by Jim Carrey, brilliantly funny in places, worthy conclusion
Disadvantages: Courtney Love, could reveal the method behind the madness better.

"Man On The Moon" certainly has the capacity to raise an eyebrow or two within the audience as it presents a number of unexpected surprises. The majority of which are revealed in the highly entertaining plot, though it is worth adding that a solidly impressive performance from Jim Carrey is one of the films major surprises. Perhaps I'm being a little harsh on Carrey, but prior to watching "Man On The Moon" I had only been impressed by his abilities ...
...the rather excellent "The Truman Show." In "Man On The Moon" Carrey plays the role of Andy Kaufman in a biopic about the American comedian, and according to those who have seen Kaufmans actual performances Carrey is extraordinarily accurate in his portrayal. For those who have not heard of Kaufman - and I knew next to nothing about him before the film - he was an American entertainer who shocked and confused his audiences with a variety of alarming ...

This moon is particularly cheesy.

Advantages: Entertaining and revealing
Disadvantages: Somewhat sanitised

Made by the same creative team behind The People Vs Larry Flynt, this biopic charts the rise and fall of a similarly misunderstood character, albeit one who died from cancer at the age of 35. Although only really known in this country for his role as Latka, the foreign mechanic from Taxi, Andy Kaufman was a cult figure in America, wowing audiences with his bizarre performances on Saturday Night Live, before throwing it all away by taking his mixture ...
...unpalatable extremes. It seems that Kaufman was more interested in revolutionising comedy as we know it rather than being a success, and rejected fame in spectacular fashion. In one scene, he responds to calls from an audience to repeat Latka's catchphrase ("Tank you veddy much!") ad infinitum by reading to them F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby in its entirety. He later goes on to staging wrestling matches against female opponents, and relying ...

Would you believe what they did with this film?

Advantages: Jim Carrey gives a great performance....
Disadvantages: ....that a losy script can't help but ruin it.

Why should we care about an unconventional comedian who died some years ago? And of course why should we indeed. There really was no need for this film and throughout this film I was disappointed by the overall product. This was nothing more than the greatest sketches that Kaufman ever did. There is no attempt to try and connect these sketches into a series of events and why he indeed, he did what he did and how he became the person he was. And ...
...before, I was expecting more about him. It is only until he gets terminal lung cancer (well, aren’t they all) that we see the remotest of character development. His childhood is all over in around ninety seconds. Trying to dig into Kaufman’s personal side all they seem to come up with is shots of the audience whooping it up. the cast is certainly game and Jim Carrey puts in a very good impersonation of him (although one can’t help but wonder what ...

Anyone Call For a Taxi

Advantages: An unsanitized look at one time popular comedien
Disadvantages: A lot of poetic licence in the telling of events

►►► Synopsis Based upon the life of avant-garde comedian Andy Kaufman (Jim Carrey), ?Man on the Moon? follows Kaufman?s life from his early days as a struggling comedian testing his act on the small audiences in the local clubs and bars. After meeting celebrity agent George Shapiro (Danny DeVito), stardom beckoned as he became phenomenally popular as Latka in the American sit-com ?Taxi?. But despite his success, he despised the commercialism of the comedy and through a series of strange stunts, which included wrestling with women and his alter ego, vile lounge singer Tony Clifton, his popularity amongst the audiences and the Television producers waned. ►►► Opinion As a child I have fond memories of watching the American sit-com ?Taxi? and crying with laughter at the hilarious antics of Latka ...

This DVD is great fun for kids - it follows the same antics as the Lunar Jim TV series and involves all the same characters getting involved in mayhem and mischief on their missions. The DVD contains 10 fun packed episodes for children to watch time and time again.
