I'm sorry...I've loved both their work....But what were they thinking.
It's like the k-tel version of the life of Andy Kaufman....It's like Andy Richter playing Sam Kinison (Oh...I KNOW some idiot just said..."Hey..good idea!").
If anyone has been lucky enough to see Kaufman truly at work......I think that they will see that where Carrey went cuddly........Kaufman goes dangerous.You could see it in his eyes. He was truly a live wire.
The only good thing to possibly come out is that if it's a hit...His stuff will be more readily availible.....Better yet...a dead on documentary.
Everybody involved in this film should be ashamed.
Tony Clifton...if yer out there..........SIC 'EM
