Customer Ratings & Reviews

Jim Carrey's character, Truman, is famous without knowing it. I think there are many celebrities that might like having fame like he has. Having the whole world watching him, loving him, and looking forward to what each new day brings. But to have the character completely oblivious to that fact. I have loved this movie for years, but watching it again now made me see a different angle that I had not picked up on before... How did he grow up, and have a life in this controlled town, and not realize it was a fabricated town, with the same daily routines. Was the repetition the key to him not becoming aware of his surroundings for so long? I would like to think I am observant enough to notice that it all seemed a bit too "perfect", and staged. But then again, if we are content with our lives, I am sure we miss things right in front of our eyes. Sorry for the side rant there... This movie is a fun adventure, that really is appropriate for the "reality show" world we live in on tv. So much that is "in theory" unscripted... but we all know that all the reality shows are guided to increase ratings. Whether that is putting two people in a situation that is known to cause drama, or splitting up tribes because they are too comfortable to shake things up. Do we really think those were just planned mergers or splits? I am sure they were planned in developing shows, but the timing, that is what they play with to try to drive ratings. Reality is not real, no matter what the studios say, and the studios love them as they get cheap actors and actresses, only having to pay the host, and the winners. Cash cow! It's all about the Benjamins.

To be sure, the movie has many laughs, but like sunlight on the deceptively calm surface of the sea, its light humor dances fitfully over dark & dangerous undercurrents. The ahead-of-its time film spoke volumes about everything from politics to the rampant rise of reality television.

Definitely a breath of fresh air watching this back in the day for the first time noticing that Jim Carrey was playing a more serious role. He does a great job in this drama binging out another side in his acting chops.

Great movie and I wanted an old format DVD to view as it was originally intended (not upscaled).

One of Jim Carey’s greatest performances! Has the humor and drama that a great movie has! Great story in there too! A must see!!

One of a list of Jim Carrey's movie, and while not his greatest, it's still a good movie that takes an interesting look at our obsession with voyeurism.
