Review: Man On The Moon



Don't go expecting any big revelations from this biopic of the life of Andy Kauffman, Man on the Moon doesn't do anything to delve beneath the surface to find out what made the controversial comedian tick, instead simply recreating all the famous moments of his career and quickly moving onto the next 'remember this' moment.

That's not to say it's not enjoyable, Carrey gives a nice performance paying tribute to Kauffman and this could well be one of the few times where the words 'Courtney Love' and 'likeable' are used in the same sentence, but the film is just too light and frothy to be anything substantial in the end.
