The Truman Show is a miraculous movie. Not only does it have incredible acting, music and plot, but it is thought provoking, shocking and intense. A truly wonderful movie.
to get an Oscar! He's been in so many fine films, this in my opinion being his defining performance. Combine superb performances within performances and an excellent Oscar-nominated script and you get "The Truman Show," a true gem in cinema history as far as creativity.
I hadn't really heard much about THE TRUMAN SHOW prior to viewing it, and I'm very surprised. It is a perfect movie, filled with tense drama, suspense, and wonderful acting. It really is a must-see for any movie-goer.
Language is very mild: a few uses of "d**n", "h**l", and one "SOB". There is no sex or violence. Though all of the people in Truman's world manipulate and control him, he is positive, kind, and determined. You really should watch this movie. It's among the best I've seen and may be the most thought-provoking experience you ever get from a film. HIGHLY recomended.
The Truman Show is a fascinating and unique film with great acting and an absorbing story. This is one of the best films I have ever seen- it's sad, funny, and just plain great. Although I'm not sure this movie is for 8 year olds- they probably wouldn't find it interesting. Good for kids 10+
The Truman Show is a wonderful, thought-provoking movie (And it is a movie, not a tv show) that really makes you think about life. It also gives a thought that maybe, during your whole life, you are being watched like "Big brother" watches you in the film "1984". It has a great story that only a genius could have thought up, the acting and drama is remarkable, and it's just... great! I love it! parents, your kid should be over ten, however before seeing this, or he/she might not get the story or the concept. There is some language and a couple tiny somewhat hard-to-notice sexual referances. Also, it might be disturbing to a kid whos not old enough that they might be being watched. Also, the cruel thing that is done to Truman, making him into a TV show, will draw thoughts from you mind. But its a great movie. See it.
This is an awesome movie that touched my heart. Obviously, because Jim Carry is in it it has some hilarious scenes, but there are also some intence and sad scenes such as Truman being manipulated. This is a five star movie and I mean it when I say 'AWESOME'.
Peace out

Great film. Highly underrated Carrey performance...
I really liked this film a lot. I think it was deep, thought provoking and well acted (while Jim Carrey is Brilliant, Ed Harris is as well.) There is an intense secene in a boat torwards the end where Truman gets over a childhood fear. It is quirky and fun too. There is mild swearing but nothing to be concerned about. This is a great film for families and while I like Pleasantville more for it's strong themes I think this can appeal to a younger more broad audience. People of all ages can take something away from this film and they'll be better for it.
It was very weird, but very well done. Jim Carrey's best performance. It shows us the corruption in the movie industry and government and reality TV. Hopefully this never actually happens to anyone though.
