Review

He's the star of the show--but he doesn't know. Jim Carrey wowed critics and audiences alike as unwitting Truman Burbank in this marvel of a movie from director Peter Weir about a man whose life is a nonstop TV show. Truman doesn't realize that his quaint hometown is a giant studio set run by a visionary producer/director/creator (Ed Harris), that folks living and working there are Hollywood actors, that even his incessantly bubbly wife is a contract player. Gradually, Truman gets wise. And what he does about his discovery will have you laughing, crying and cheering like few film stories ever have.

IMO theres hardly enough features for what I'd call an SE but this seems worth picking up at that price. Havent seen it for years but I remember liking it very much. :)

I won't be bothering. It was good in it's day but is now dated.

It's just not dated very well IMO. The story isn't as strong as it should've been also. The ending is very weak.
