Summary: Jim Carrey's Best Role.
Review: I never really wanted to see this movie, but when I did I was impressed. The film starts off slow and a bit boring, but from the split-half to the end, the movie is fully entertaining. Ed Harris and Jim Carrey make their best appearance in a motion picture yet, and that is out of alot. The story is charming, sad and funny, the direciton is beauty and the acting is full-on excellence.Downright Great - The Truman Show is definitely worth a look.

Summary: Loved it.
Review: The Truman Show is a well-written clever film that mixes the rare genre of drama, comedy and heart-breaking tragedy. The acting is excellent, especially from the outstanding Ed Harris and the cool Jim Carrey. Truman Burbank (Carrey) is a happy go-lucky desk worker with no problems. Yet does he know it, but he is been watched by millions around the world - his life is a TV Show and all the people around him are actors. Finally, Truman finds out and decides to escape. But the director (Harris), has full control over the weather and himself. See this clever movie if your looking for a smart comedy - you'll adore it, love it and treasure it!

Summary: Jim Carrey is miscast
Review: The premise of this film sounded very intriguing, and on the whole the script was well done. Unfortunately, the wrong actor was cast for the lead character. Jim Carrey's Truman lacked the sincerity and earnestness that the character required and that Matthew Broderick, for example, could have brought to the role.

Summary: A great movie!
Review: 'The Truman Show' is excellent - why it was overlooked for theAcademy Awards is totally beyond me. This film tells the tale ofTruman Burbank (played by Jim Carrey) - a man who, unknown to him, lives in an enormous TV studio disguised as a town, and has his entire life televised 24 hours a day. The territory is similar to 'Ed TV' and 'Pleasantville', but The Truman Show is the best of these three - more than a comedy, the film really shows the dark side of Truman's manufactured existence. [Incidentally - in lots of ways this film reminds me of the sixties UK TV series 'The Prisoner' - both have a hero who is trapped on an island he can never leave] This is, for once, an intelligent Hollywood film.

Summary: Incredable Film
Review: The Truman Show is the best movie since "Ferris B. D. O." I normally do not buy movies, for the same price of buying one, you can rent it for 4-5 times. However, the Truman Show moved me in a way, no film ever has. It made me think...are we really in a fradulagent universe? It is truly an amazing work of motion picture and deserves 5 stars. And remember...Incase I dont see you again, good afternoon, good evening, and good night

Summary: One of the best movies I've ever seen
Review: In my life I've definitely seen thousands of movies. The Truman show ranks in the top 25 best that I've ever seen. When I first saw the Truman show on opening day I didn't know what to expect. I came out not knowing if really enjoyed it. As the days went on I kept thinking about it and it grew on me. I've now seen this movie over 5 times and it gets better with every viewing. Beautifully acted and filmed it is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Jim Carrey should have recieved an oscar nomination for his performance and Ed Harris should have won, along with Peter Weir. Only once in a while a movie of this caliber comes along. Even if you are skeptical I think you should give it a shot. You may love it you may hate it but hey everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Summary: Compelling
Review: You will believe. When I first heard about The Truman Show I was less than enthused with the idea of a tv show documenting the entire life of an individual. Particularly with everything about that individual's life being staged or simulated. Like most garbage coming out of Hollywood it was entirely too fake. What I viewed however was a film with so much humanity and lack thereof that it's hard not to get drawn in to the reality of Truman's all too simulated world. To me the major question that the film raises is what kind of society would not just tolerate but condone this type of undertaking. And perhaps an even bigger question is how plausible is it that our present society would react just like the characters in the movie. The answer may be very disconcerting. Or how about the ethical lack of privacy issue and the audacity of any individual to invade another's privacy in such a manner. Or the low morals particularly of Laura Linney's character who can at best be described as a prostitute. Forget about the legalities of such an undertaking, the film (in my mind) raises the morality question of playing God and the lack of morality of the viewing public. Only 1 character in the whole film even remotely thinks of Truman as a real person and not an object of amusement or a creation. He merely exists for their own pleasure or sympathy. Yet Truman, despite all that is stacked against him endeavors to break free and know the truth. One man... following his own voice despite all the signs to the contrary. To me that's powerful stuff. Jim Carey is phenomenal. It's too early to tell but he may be that rarest of individual who can be great at both comedy and drama. You will FEEL for Truman. Not to be missed.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: "The Truman Show" is a fantastic movie. It stars Jim Carey and is about a guy whose whole life is a television show. He is filmed twenty-four hours a day and the footage is turned into a television show called "The Truman Show". A fantastic movie. Five stars.

Summary: Buy Ed Tv instead because this movie stinks
Review: I didn't expect to see a comedic performance from Jim Carrey when I bought this movie. However, with all the hype that it got, I expected to see a good movie. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The plot was loosely tied together. I felt that the movie's plot started at the end of Truman's story when the beginning would have been more interesting. With the exception of flashbacks, the audience was never allowed to understand the beginning or the end. What happens after he figures it out? I was also upset by the backhanded comparing of the character Christof and Jesus Christ. Maybe I read that in but I think if it was intentional then it was an insult to the audience. My suggestion to those who want to buy it to see Jim Carrey then they should buy it because he acted fairly well in it. However, if you want to buy it for the plot, then buy ED TV instead. Ed TV is a much better movie and more believeable without insulting the audience. The choice is yours.
