Rubber Man Shows he can act!!
If like me you find Rubber-Faced comedian Jim Carey's films such as "Liar Liar", "Dumb and Dumber" and "Ace Ventura" childish and dull once the first face-pulling gag is complete, then this could well be a welcome treat for you. Under the current climate of reality tv shows, the story of The Truman Show is quite poignant.
Truman (Jim Carey) is living his happy life in his happy town and his happy job, blissfully unaware that he is fact the soul star of his very own reality tv series - The Truman Show. The film explores the emotions of a man who becomes aware of the situation he is in as he begins to understand his surroundings due to a series of strange incidents.
Jim Carey is completely convincing as Truman and for once does not have a film based around his ability to pull faces!! I was surprised myself, but having watched the film I must admit that Jim Carey is indeed a very talented actor. It is difficult not to feel the frightened emotions of a man who is only just becoming aware of his true existance.
The story is funny, slick and well put together, but it is the performance of Jim Carey that makes it stand out and does truly effect the viewer. After the film, imagine yourself as Truman and think "What would that really be like?".
A must see for all viewers with an imagination. -

Dull
So much could have been done with this concept. But Jim Carrey looks like a longer version of Darren in American TV's bewitched and his acting skills are comparable. A bit of direction and a proper lead actor, Depp, for instance could improve on this imaginative script.
Jim Carrey should stick to pulling funny faces and walking in an amusing manner. The circus perhaps? -

He’s part Lassie, part Superdog. And here’s the thing: he doesn’t understand the show is pretend. That spells trouble when he accidentally wanders off the set and into the real world.
