December 31, 2011A unique and humourous biopic that's got a hugely likable cast and remains consistently fun through out. One of Carrey's best. Man on the Moon is challenging and far much more interesting than I expected.

December 24, 2011Milos Forman director of the classic Amadeus directs this drama film about famed comedian Andy Kaufman. Man on the Moon is a well crafted drama with a good cast of actors. The film was very well done, and with director Milos Forman at the helm, you can expect something entertaini... read more

August 14, 2011I looked up the scenes on YouTube of his work, and man their almost clones. Jim Carrey embodies this, guy he was the perfect choice. The story was so interesting, espically when he goes nuts. One of Jim Carreys best movies.

September 18, 2010Jim Carrey gives it his all with a brilliant performance of the infamous Andy Kaufman; the world's most invasive con-man. Man on the Moon's biggets fault is its editing. It's not very clean and scene transistions make it feel like somehting was left out

August 16, 2010I'm not a big Jim Carrey fan but here, in Man on the Moon, he's absolutely brilliant. An immensely underrated performance.

November 25, 2009A career best for Jim Carrey. He blew me away with his performance of Andy Koffman. The film itself is really well done and is quite intricate. It is a great biopic and accurately tells the story of Koffman. It is sad, funnyand dramatic all at once.

November 23, 2009Not having heard more about Andy Kaufman than the wonderful REM song of the same name this movie totally took me by surprise. What an insane but hilarious approach to humor this man had. Jim Carrey gives one of his best performances, bringing Kaufman back to life, together with s... read more

September 22, 2009Informative and fantastical, it?s very fitting because it?s very Kaufman.

A brilliant, almost terrifying impersonation. Full Review

Milos Forman's biopic Man on the Moon is volatile and active -- and, frankly, doesn't make too much sense. Full Review

Mike Clark, USA Today
This is a movie of moments whose ultimate legacy may be to get Carrey out of formula comedies forever.

Jay Carr, Boston Globe
The big problem with Man on the Moon is that it settles for being a thing of surfaces.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
A brilliant, maniacally funny, and dizzying experience. Full Review
