Editorial Review: Product Description: Truman burbank has lived his entire life in a storybook community called seahaven. But what he doesnt know is that this too-perfect world is really a giant soundstage his friends and loved ones are actors and he is the subject of the worlds most popular live tv show. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/01/2007 Starring: Jim Carrey Noah Emmerich Run time: 102 minutes Rating: Pg Discount Shopping essential video: The whole world is watching--literally--every time Truman Burbank makes the slightest move. Unbeknownst to him, in this hauntingly funny film by Peter Weir, his entire life has been an unending soap opera for consumption by the rest of the world. And everyone he knows--including his mother, his wife, and his best friend--is really an actor, paid to be part of his life. In this intriguing and surprisingly touching 1998 film, writer Andrew Niccol imagines an ultimate kind of celebrity, then sees it brought to life with comic intensity and emotional honesty by Jim Carrey in what may be the performance of his career. Carrey has exceptional support from Laura Linney and Ed Harris, but it's his show, in a portrayal that demonstrates just what kind of range Carrey is capable of. --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ONE WORD... STUPIDThis is one stupid movie. Not just stupid, insultingly stupid. And the fact that there are so many glowing reviews proves how stupid human beings are in general. To make a long and very boring story short, the message is that we're not in control of our lives. We are mere puppets on a string... manipulated and controled by a higher power. Oh, and of course because movie makers and the media "think" they are Gods, why not portray themselves as such? So the whole movie is built around a bloody TV show! ... Read More Rating:  - The Reality of the Truman ShowThe first time I saw The Truman Show, I was hooked. The movie is highly critical of the media and of how reality is manipulated to entertain the largest group of people. I have always been critical of the way television shows always claim to distribute "reality" to the public, and The Truman Show exemplifies many of the reasons reality television is so highly criticized. Truman, played by Jim Carrey, is an engaging character whose life is displayed on camera for the world to watch. He is surrounded ... Read More Rating: - My kind of reality show...The concept behind `The Truman Show' is more pertinent to us today than it was when the film was released. Sure, the idea of television controlling the world is not a new one, but in a world where every new television program is another take at the reality genre it becomes more and more probable that an event such as this one may one day take place. The opening words by the shows creator say it all: "We've become bored with watching actors give us phony emotions. We are tired of pyrotechnics ...

The story gives one pause to consider what if my life had been entirely staged, scripted, and was on display 24 hours a day. Yikes! Rating: - ABSOLUTELY BEYOND OUTSTANDINGFor me to give a 5-star rating to any Jim Carrey movie, before I saw this 1, I'd say you'd see the sun rise in the west first; or see Bush become a Christian! Very very small-the ending, kind of leaves 1 hanging; especially with Natascha's character when she rejoices over Carrey's choice and throws on her coat and runs out the door, where's she going? To him? But for what the movie is and attempts to accomplish, BRAVO x 1000. To qualify, for people who are not into a surreal brand of movie, without ...
