Man on the Moon | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

Based on a true story, Jim Carrey stunningly portrays the late Andy Kaufman - considered the most innovative, eccentric and enigmatic comic of his time - in 'Man on the Moon'. "Jim Carrey is extraordinary," says the 'New York Post'. "Jim Carrey may be a better Andy Kaufman than Andy Kaufman" writes 'Newsweek'.

Synopsis: Uncanny biopic tracks the life and career of ambitious but eccentric comedian Andy Kaufman, from his unconventional stage act to his stint on TV's Taxi to his intergender wrestling days, and finally to his death due to lung cancer in 1984.
