"The Truman Show" is simply one of the greatest films of all time. The Wikipedia entry for it describes it as a "satirical science-fiction psychological comedy drama film," yet this film is so unique and thematically massive that I'm not…

Hands down, one of my favorite movies of all time. It's a very different kind of movie especially for Jim Carrey. When you think of Jim Carrey, 9 times out of 10 you think of his comedic films like The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, and Liar Liar.…

The beauty of "The Truman Show" is that if they gave you any more of the story or the details than they do (about a man whose entire life is being surreptitiously broadcast as a TV show), it probably wouldn’t work. We were dying to know…

One of my go to movies in the winter when I need a laugh and some deep thought.

I’ve seen this show at least 8 times for English class and still find it exciting each time. There are great sound tracks, good characters and a great plot. Even though I have watched this show so many times, it never gets boring. Also…

Dated and dull. I certainly do not miss Jim Carey.

I tried watching it but I'm not a Jim Carey fan at all, nor did I enjoy any part of this movie. Ed TV staring Matthew McConaughey is a much better movie, IMO and it's the same type of storyline, but directed by Ron Howard.

One of the most brilliant and off-the-wall movies ever made. I liked Laura Linney even better than Jim Carrey, but the acting in it was essentially perfect, as well as the story line.

Great premise, mediocre execution. Also see "EdTV." Or don't. I hear it's pretty bad.

The ideas about modern voyeurism are somewhat unclearly presented. But it is an original film: it keeps one guessing, its funny, and if some moments are clearly perceived will make the viewer give some thought to the modern corporate…

This is a fantastic movie. This truly shows how talented Jim Carry really is. It was a little boring at some points though.

The Truman Show was one of those hidden gems of a movie that I found during quarantine. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film, as every little aspect of the film just made it better. From the characters to the cinematography, everything…

If you know someone who spends all their time on "Facebook," an "X-Box," or can't go a day without their phone gizmo -and this concerns you- then, most likely... YOU WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE. Question: Are you rooting for Truman to stay in…

Amazing, and brilliant. Wow. This movie is so original, the director was surely a genius. This is also my favorite Jim Carrey movie--his acting in this was fantastic. The ending and climax were breathtaking. Watch this and watch it now.

The sort of film you wish Jim Carrey would make more often instead of reverting to juvenile gross out humour. The Truman Show demonstrates that he can really be a good actor when he sets his mind to it. The story features him as the…

I loved this movie when it first came out, and really enjoyed watching it with my teenaged children. This movie inspires us to fight for what we know can be different.
