Taylor R gave it a6:
I liked to movie, but it had some weird parts. I liked what the movie was about. I didn't like the picture color of the movie. I didn't like how they were being mean to Truman. It was weird how they trapped him in his own world. Also, I didn't like how his wife is mean and a freak.
Marcus S gave it a10:
I liked the movie! It kept you guessing, it was funny and also serious. The sad part is when he relizes it is all fake. It was funny when the boat crashes throughthe sky/wall. His last words were "Good morning,Good evening and Goodnight". The lines were done well. The characters did excellent. This movie was really good.
kelli gave it a5:
I didn't like the movie at all. It wasn't interresting at all. It wasn't really fun at all. All I liked a bout was the funny Jim Carrie. How he was in the film of filmen the videos.
kate gave it a6:
I didn't really care for the movie all that much. I got lost quite a few times during the movie. But they changed scenes a lot more than I had expected they would, which that's where I sort of got confused. And didn't understand the point in the movie.
Carlie gave it a5:
I did not like the movie because there was not much action. I was kind of funny. It was boring and did not make much since. I got lost a few times in the movie and did not understand what was going on.
Clif C. gave it a10:
I knew Carrey was talented and this movie was the real demonstration of his skills. The plot is amazingly well-constructed and the details and themes (medias, allegory of the cave, existentialism, ...) are brilliantly used and true (for the world we live in)! And maybe this shocked and irritated some of the people who gave negative reviews. But hey... Wake up, welcomle to our word!
Jeremy E. gave it a7:
I will never understand critics. Bruce almighty was 10 times funnier than this movie and it got really bad reviews. but then this movie get good reviews from nearly every critic. It wasn't even that good. It was ok, but it wasn't funny enough to be a comedy or dramatic enough to be a drama. it got boring.
