Film7.2KomediDramÖnceleri gece klüplerinde tek kişilik komedi gösterileri yapan Andy Kaufman (Jim Carrey) ilk kez Saturday Night Live adlı televizyon şovunda seyirci karşısına çıktığında alışılmadık garip tarzı ile tanınmış menajer George Shapiro (Danny DeVito)'nun dikkatini çeker. Shapiro'nun yardımı ile kendi şovunu yapmaya başlayan Kaufman komedide bilinen tarzların dışına çıkmakta, aslında seyirciyi güldürmekten çok şoke etmeye çalışmaktadır. En yakınları bile Kaufman'ın nerede rol yapıp nerede gerçeği yaşadığını anlayamazlar. Günümüzde bile tam anlaşılamamış olan bu 'nevi şahsına münhasır' sanatçının destekçileri arasında menajeri Shapiro'dan başka dostu ve rol arkadaşı Bob Zmuda (Paul Giamatti) ve kız arkadaşı Lynne Margulies (Courtney Love) vardı.

Film8.0KomediThis set gives you a chance to see some of today's best comedians when they were much younger. some peoples bits are very short, one joke short, which leaves you feeling a little jipped. The replay value is minimal because you have to skip around so much to keep the laughs going.

Film6.2BelgeselKomediThrough unprecedented backstage access and candid interviews, the film weaves through the absurd world of the working comedian and reveals a crazy and hilarious psychological profile of its practitioners. We also follow retired comic Ritch Shydner's attempt to climb back on stage after a thirteen-year hiatus. At the top of his game in the 1980's, Shydner had HBO specials, shot five pilot TV shows, and numerous late night appearances (Carson, Letterman, Leno, etc.) but the big time eluded him. Equipped with the collective wisdom and nutty musings of over 80 of his peers, he gives it another shot. Does Ritch have what it takes to connect with today's young crowds and still get the laughs?
