3.5/5
"Jim Carrey, as Kaufman's doppelganger, is haunting and devastatingly accurate."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

2.5/4
"No question, this is the finest performance of his career; the movie itself, alas, is hardly an achievement."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

B-
"An alluring biopic about the provocative comedian Andy Kaufman that couldn't go futher than to provide an entertaining look at the entertainer."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

2.5/4
"Nowhere near perfect, and in the confines of staying true to Andy's life, it probably could never be."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

"Presents the life of a madcap trickster who desperately wanted to be the biggest star in the world."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3.5/4
"The crowning performance of Jim Carrey's career."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

1/5
"Andy Kaufman biopic is hollow, even with Jim Carrey's chameleonlike performance."  Netflix  James Rocchi

"If you have a passing interest and/or any fond memories of Kaufman, you may want to see the film simply for a trip down memory lane and a tremendous performance from Carrey that may earn him some award nominations."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

"There are times you will forget that you aren’t watching clips of the real Andy."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

3.5/4
"Jim Carrey se ha empeñado en mostrarle al mundo que sabe actuar y lo está logrando"  Moviola  Jorge Avila Andrade

7/10
"Milos Forman's film is a series of incredible simulations that never quite cohere into a movie."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

2/4
"Man on the Moon is one of those films where you walk out of the auditorium completely flummoxed as to why you feel so empty."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

5/5
"A teeming, fast-paced spin through a particularly strange show-biz life."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

6/10
"Entertaining on the surface, but I didn't learn all that much."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

"A movie that's too conventional to capture Kaufman's insanity and too haphazard, too shapeless, to recapture Kaufman's energy in any meaningful way."  Salon.com  Stephanie Zacharek
