What is most wonderful about Man on the Moon, a very good film, is that it remains true to Kaufman's stubborn vision.

A movie of moments whose ultimate legacy may be to get Carrey out of formula comedies forever.

Carrey gives an otherworldly, possessed performance as Kaufman.

A fascinating, sometimes profound curiosity.

Strictly texture, a romp over the surfaces of Andy Kaufman's life with not much insight into its core.

It's not that the movie is bad; it's merely uninspired and relatively clueless about Kaufman.

You won't forget the way Carrey transcends mere impersonation to find the roots of Andy's torment.

Though Man on the Moon is lost when it comes to Kaufman's inner life and motivations, it offers a detailed account of his career.

I bet that what Carrey saw from inside Kaufman's head would be more illuminating than anything in the movie.

Too conventional to capture Kaufman's insanity and too haphazard, too shapeless, to recapture Kaufman's energy in any meaningful way.
