Watched this last night - it's 2021. Have tried to give it a fair rating
MDB current rating 8.0? This is only going to fall over time.
This film must have seemed excellent at the time with some very good performances from the male leads, an insight into the extraordinary lifestyle available to the few in that period, while having an underlying social commentary
Unfortunately time has not dealt kindly with the comedy films of the past
The dividing line is in my view about 1970. Little before that stands up well today. The Graduate and The Producers still look good but precious little else does. There are outliers like Kind Hearts and Coronets, and Les Vacances de M Hulot, but these are few and far between.
Will put it down as a learning experience

We have just watched this on TV. I get easily bored but this kept me riveted
I didn't know anything about Andy Kaufman. Even if I did, and I didn't like him - so what? Some of the 1 star reviewers seem to downgrade the film because of a personal preference. Seems misguided to me. You might just as well say " I didn't agree with Adolf Hitler's policies and he was a real jerk so I'll give Downfall 1 star too". I don't understand why you would want to watch a film where there was really no possibility that you would like it. I've got better ways to spend my time
I thought JIm Carrey was excellent. Good supporting cast too. Who's to say what the real Andy Kaufman was actually like - I think we can all accept that he was at the very least a bit unusual.
Subsequently I've seen clips of Andy Kaufman on YouTube and if nothing else the recreation of his act was extraordinarily good
I could watch this again

I struggled to get through to the end.
Clearly quite a lot of people rated this film, but I merely found it dull with little in the way of plot or pace. These are major and fatal flaws. I have had to read some of the other reviews to even work out what actually happened.
The actors did what they could, and were generally very convincing. Some of the camera-work was also of a high standard.
I'm no fan of frantic films filled with over-acting, but this is not the first film where I longed for something - anything - to happen to relieve the boredom.
When you're watching a film with someone else and after 45 minutes you're saying "well it's supposed to be good and I'm sure it'll improve", that's not a good sign.
It wasn't and it didn't.
