Wordiezett So much average
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
carlmyers-80296 The Truman Show is Jim Carrey as you have never seen him before. This is straight out of The Twilight Zone(in fact writer Andrew Nicchol based the screenplay on an episode of The Twilight Zone. Jim Carrey plays an insurance salesman who has no idea that his entire life is scripted and part of a television show. This is a departure of sorts for Peter Weir also and though I have forgotten much of this film I remember liking it a lot. There are many underlying themes and the entire presentation is something you don't see often. This is a healthy recommendation regardless of whether you are a fan of Carrey or not.
andreakaralic-24952 This movie can be explained by quoting one of Nirvana song lyrics: "Just because you're paranoid don't mean they're not after you."
iraclay Never watched such a horrible movie, why play a role so stupid, really a 30 yr old man is clueless to his whole life being a lie. Pure trash can't believe Jim Carey embarrassed himself doing this movie,I cant even believe it only took me half of the movie to notice how bad the movie was, only if I could sue the makers for wasting my time lmaoo
smsudusinghe Jim Carrey is not just a comedian. Everybody thinks Jim is a comedian, but if you watch this film you'll understand who Jim Carrey really is. They should give him the Oscar for this performance. This movie is made from a great concept. Once that concept was on my head too. Director Peter Weir is a Genius. Somehow he has been able to made this movie without a single mistake. I really hate television. After I watched this I removed the TV from living room. But the movie won't tell you to hate television. It only told me. Truman Show is a great experience. A wonderful movie you can watch with your family. Specially TV lovers.
