One of the rare occasions when Jim Carrey is actually good as an actor, and the supporting cast fit in their roles really well too.

Фильм категории "Must See" , являющийся выдающимся лишь по причине оригинальной идеи. Ничего в фильме гениального нет, но это не мешает ему быть просто отличным.

A really fun and entreaging movie that has a lot to say.

Buena película con unas ideas muy interesantes, aunque el final queda medio inconcluso.

One of my all-time favorite Jerry Seinfeld performances. He really killed it with this film, though I find the idea of bees suing the human race to be a little far-fetched.

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 I didn't really care for the movie all that much.

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. 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.

É um bom filme.

Temos uma premissa interessante, que claramente não envelheceu e pode ser usada como uma critica nos dias de hoje; uma performance do Jim Carrey interpretando a sim mesmo - que é muito agradável para quem curte o ator, comoÉ um bom filme.

Temos uma premissa interessante, que claramente não envelheceu e pode ser usada como uma critica nos dias de hoje; uma performance do Jim Carrey interpretando a sim mesmo - que é muito agradável para quem curte o ator, como eu; criticas subjetivas que enriquecem a experiencia para quem se adentrou a trama e uma boa pitada de humor, que não funciona em diversos momentos, mas também rende umas cenas engraçadíssimas. Acredito que o filme demora um pouco para "decolar", mas a partir da metade se passa muito rápido. Creio que ele tenha acabado no momento correto, e cabe a nós imaginar o que havia por vir. O diretor escolheu uma abordagem mais caricata, visto que algo "pé no chão" mudaria muito a atmosfera do filme e como os personagens reagiriam ao longo dele. Visto que a obra não se leva a serio, nossa tolerância aumenta e a realidade ali posposta tende a ser menos depressiva e pessimista.

The Truman Show é engraçado, traz umas reflexões interessantes sobre o tema e tem um final assertivo com um clímax bem definido.… Expand

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.

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.

and the Truman show is critically acclaimed which i should like automatically right, NOPE.
i admire that the story is creative and coming from high imagination but the problem with a high imagined movie is the end,
because with your imagination you can create a perfect movie world with perfect events,
but the hardest thing to do is to close this world with an eventful plot, unfortunately the end in this movie was so bad,
that it actually pissed me off, Truman was born and raised in this fake world, so he have no idea about the actual real world,
so you'd think he's very excited and anticipated to get out but a huge character development was missing from the plot and ending the movie like this with a fake smile "good morning, good evening and goodnight"
was the worst ending to a movie i have ever seen.
the end actually left me speechless for about 9 minutes.… Expand

This film, in my opinion, was nothing more than a steaming pile of garbage. Jim Carrey should have stuck to what he does best, and that is, of course, comedy. He simply doesn't work as a dramatic actor. The rest of the cast sucks, too. This film, in my opinion, was nothing more than a steaming pile of garbage.

The only thing that saves this from being a total disaster is Peter Weir's directing ability. But, even he was hampered by the terrible script.… Expand

Why would Jim make a bland dramedy like this ? Jim is phenomenal at whacky comedy he should always avoid dramatic movies. This movie is a train wreck.
