I fear my expectations were a bit higher than they were back then. I was eager to re-watch Man on the Moon, which I'd seen a few years ago, after enjoying The Great Beyond so much. But after seeing the behind the scenes footage in Jim and Andy: The Great Beyond, a new Netflix documentary on the making of Man on the Moon, I can't say I would have wanted Carrey to approach the role any other way. What Carrey delivers is very good, but not something I would have guessed he stayed in character 24/7 for. Man on the Moon is the only Andy Kaufman biopic to date, so there are no other Kaufman performances to compare with Jim Carrey's. It's sad when such "dedication" results in an arguably subpar performance that's easily outshined by previous Joker interpretations (do you think Heath Ledger's take would have been any richer had he left a flaming bag of poop on Christian Bale's doorstep?).
When it comes to method acting, how far is too far? Jared Leto reportedly sent dead rats and used condoms to his co-stars during the making of Suicide Squad. Where's it available? DVD, Streaming on Amazon COOL COUPLE Jim Carrey plays Andy Kaufman and Courtney Love plays Lynne Margulies, Kaufman's longtime girlfriend, in Man on the Moon.
