Title: Why was this film made?
Product review: Was Andy Kaufman the most unfunny man on TV in that rather empty period of comedy in the late seventies? And then to make a film about his life! I vaguely remember watching his cliche "foreign guy" portrayal in Taxi when I was a child and I didn't find him funny at seven years old! Throughout the film, I found myself hoping to catch glimpses of the real Jim Carrey, and yet was left only with this somewhat creepy portrayal of a guy that had the sense of humour of a second hand sofa. Viewed in the year 2001, Andy Kaufman comes across not so much as shocking but just a little sad. So congratulations to Jim Carrey for a really convincing performance, but please stick to your own humour next time - it beats the pants off Andy Kaufman!
