Very good. Have you watched Pleasantville? Not a Jim Carrey movie but another movie that surprised me as well.

It's like the Matrix, but without the stop motion fight scenes and the leather everything.

I saw it when I was kind of young. It fucked me up for a while. I wouldn't be naked around a mirror, and I would look for cameras randomly.

Apparently Truman Show syndrome became more of a thing after the movie. People believing the people around them were actors.

Besides getting the girl and going to Fiji? He could live on his fame for the rest of his life. Probably not have to sell insurance.

Although if he did go back to sell insurance, he would have been the most popular insurance agent ever. Granted, the competition is weak.

To be honest, I think Man on the Moon was. He nailed Andy Kaufman's personality to a tee. Though Truman Show is a close second for me.
