The Truman Show
He's the star of the show--but he doesn't know.
Jim Carrey wowed critics and audiences alike as unwitting Truman Burbank in this marvel of a movie from director Peter Weir about a man whose life is a nonstop TV show. Truman doesn't realize that his quaint hometown is a giant studio set run by a visionary producer/director/creator (Ed Harris), that folks living and working there are Hollywood actors, that even his incessantly bubbly wife is a contract player. Gradually, Truman gets wise. And what he does about his discovery will have you laughing, crying and cheering like few film stories ever have.

This movie had a very fresh and different concept in the movie and that was great to see him play in it. He was the best fit for this roll and it was very fun to watch and see as story develops. It is kind of little sad to see but at the same time, it's such an entertaining show.Good afternoon, good evening, and good night! - hilkayaker
This show is amazing, I really love it. Watching Truman figure out his life is a sham is facinating. I love how they came up with the fictional world and made everyone a part of it. Jim Carrey did a great job as Truman, one of his first serious roles that I actually liked. Great movie, watch it!Truly Original - srini88
This movie has remained one of my all time favorites. I often movies having borrowed ideas from other movies and it is hard to find a truly original one but this is at close it gets. Carrey proves his versatality, direction is amazing and the story telling marvelous.
