Perhaps to some, it won't be as profound as it appears (and wants, I guess). Jim Carrey is the best example of the "comedy man edition" after Peter Sellers and Jerry Lewis. He is quick to take on the role of another man, depressed enough to act as though his life depended on it (this is so similar to Sellers), otherworldly in his improvisation, and simultaneously terribly heartbreaking. If you consider yourself to be one of his biggest supporters.… Expand

Everyone knows about different acting methods and a lot of people knew about what Carrey did on the set of Man on the Moon but obviously we never saw it, but that's what this documentary is and although it's not spectacular or anything, itEveryone knows about different acting methods and a lot of people knew about what Carrey did on the set of Man on the Moon but obviously we never saw it, but that's what this documentary is and although it's not spectacular or anything, it gives another look at the work of the actor and it becomes an excellent companion to the film and especially serves as a testament of one of Jim Carrey's best acting jobs.… Expand
