Premise
Jim Carrey stars as a salesman who discovers his entire life is a reality show.
Thoughts
It's been a while, but I recall really liking this film. Writer Andrew Niccol explored some interesting ideas about reality entertainment nearly a decade before such shows flooded our channels. I enjoyed the strong performances by Carrey, Ed Harris and Laura Linney. Carrey started to prove he could do serious drama here. There were some memorable moments has his character's world and naivety began to crumble, aided by some haunting Philip Glass music.
What I would change
Nothing.
