The Truman Show is one of those films that proposes an idea many of us had as children. Somewhere in time the cultural zeitgeist started implanting the idea "What if we are in a false reality, but we become aware of it?"
The grand scale of the The Truman Show operation is what keeps the viewer engaged. This is one of Jim Carrey's more precise acting roles. He has a plethora of energy, but manages to keep it reined in. Laura Linney is average, Ed Harris underperforms, and Noah Emmerich almost steals the show at times. Noah has the best line in the film.
Overall, it's a good movie that is worth watching (mainly for the scale of the show and for Jim's performance). The movie fails in addressing questions of morality.
