Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great Comedy
Loved the actors and jokes in the movie. Great story.
Very underrated movie living in the shadow of The Truman Show. In some ways I think this is a superior version and a harbinger of today's reality TV programming (except with the sliminess). Very good performances from all the main actors.
Everybody compares this to The Truman Show which came out about the same time. They are completely different. The Truman Show is a serious movie about somebody who is unaware he has been on a reality TV show since birth. This is a comedy about an adult who is well aware that he is on reality TV. Both movies are great in their own genre. As a comedy, this is extremely funny and did not deserve the negativity it received upon release for being inferior to The Truman Show. Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges.
