Summary: A human comedy of mythic proportions.
Review: Truman's universe is anything but seamless. Odd things fall out of the sky. People behave in strange ways, and some of them even try to tell him Things Are Not What They Seem To Be. Yet he clings fiercely to that version of reality which has been presented to him. Eventually he begins to realize that things just are not adding up and he escapes, overcoming a fear instilled by his "creator" in the process.

Having recently escaped from a religious cult, I was surprised by the intensity with which I identified with Truman. Near the end, when he shouts at the sky, hardly knowing who he is addressing, "Is that the best you can do? You're going to have to kill me!" I wept, for I know what it is to overcome such obstacles.

The Truman Show reminded me of of James Burke's PBS series, The Day The Universe Changed. One of most heroic parts of our humanity is the ability to change the universe we live in. This movie put me in touch with that part of my humanity.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best
Review: This is by far the best film that has come out in years. It makes you laugh and think long after watching it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A GREAT MOVIE!!!
Review: The TRUMAN SHOW WAS THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN! What an ingenious idea! Jim Carrey does a great job in the movie, and so does Harris. This is the best movie there ever was and there ever will be!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HOLLYWOOD ENGAGES ITS BRAIN
Review: A modern masterpiece of film making. Nuff Said

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A New Plateau for Carrey
Review: I was pleasantly surprised by Carrey's performance in this film. He has shown that he is a very dynamic actor and not just a funny face. Add to his performance the other great performances, and a truly original and thought provoking plot, and you have one GREAT show. It doesn't matter if you love comedies or dramas . . .if you love movies, this is a must have.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You'll love it or hate it
Review: This is one of those movies that you'll either love or hate, so be warned

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent analogy of life in a Cult
Review: Excellent analogy of Cult Mind Control. This movie very accurately reflects the life of a cult member. Anyone who has been involved in a group which is (or has been called) a cult should view this movie. (For more information on cult mind control you can contact us at the given email address)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Jim Carrey ain't God
Review: HAIKU MOVIE REVIEW

Jim Carrey ain't God. Really Hated Ed Harris. Not worth all the hype.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Those who gave this one star need to reconsider.
Review: This movie has it all. A great plot, interesting characters, and an overall great presentation of life. Anyone who gave this movie one star should really get a life and think about it again. They are the kind of people who went to the movie expecting a comedy. Sure, it has its funny moments, but the Truman Show is not a comedy. Still, I think Jim Carey did a terrific performance in this film, and should have been nomonated by the Academy for best actor. If you don't buy this movie, rent it. Just see it, and pay close attention, and you'll see why it is one of the year's best films.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What are you people smoking?
Review: The Truman Show was an absolutely unoriginal, poorly presented product of Entertainment Tonight style all glitz no substance horse manure.

I'm serious. I bet horse manure would make for better viewing. I'm going to go film a couple hours of it, and then see if I can get the Hollywood machine to hype it up as an "Oscar contender".

The Story - Crap.

Jim Carrey's Performance - Average.
