Title: Fun but pointless.
Product review: I found myself disappointed by this movie. It's supposed to be a biography of Andy Kaufman, but the movie only goes into the shallowest of details, spending most of its energies to progress from one comedic routine to the next. While these comedic scenes are often funny in their wackiness, they're forgettable, and certainly don't make me want to become more like Andy Kaufman, apparently the director's ambition...The approach seems problematic. Jim Carrey was more or less put in the role of re-enacting Andy Kaufman's "greatest hits". Regardless of how good a job he did or didn't do, wouldn't it make more sense just to watch an old Andy Kaufman collection? I remember various channels broadcasting such programs, around the time the movie came out.
