Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

not as good as all the hype

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The Truman Show is Jim Carrey as you have never seen him before. This is straight out of The Twilight Zone(in fact writer Andrew Nicchol based the screenplay on an episode of The Twilight Zone. Jim Carrey plays an insurance salesman who has no idea that his entire life is scripted and part of a television show. This is a departure of sorts for Peter Weir also and though I have forgotten much of this film I remember liking it a lot. There are many underlying themes and the entire presentation is something you don't see often. This is a healthy recommendation regardless of whether you are a fan of Carrey or not.

Jim Carry deserved an Oscar for this film but yeah they don't give Oscar to a comedian actor. This film is all about Jim Carry's acting. You are living a happy life and suddenly you find out that your life is not your life. Everything has been scripted in your life, then what happen? What will you do?

An insurance salesman/adjuster discovers his entire life is actually a television show. The Truman Show has an interesting and very original idea for a story but the film is just not that very interesting for me as a whole. I mean sure Carrey does a good job but the movie was so damn slow that almost put me to sleep. The film is also a bit comedic, a bit dramatic and has some bits of sci-fi in it as well and all those things together in my opinion were kind of lackluster and just messy. I do understand why people love this film and why critics praised it as a whole but Jim Carrey has done way better films than this like Dumb and Dumber and The Mask and this is not on my list i'm afraid. (5.0/10)

This movie is also a masterpiece. For me on the same level like Forrest Gump. Movies like this are not made anymore these days. They simply touch you. Well, at least we can be happy with them we got.Some Actors are really made for one specific role, and this movie is made for jim carry. Incredible good Movie.
