On the surface, Truman Burbank's life seems perfectly average. He has a dull desk job, has a safe marriage and drinks beer at the weekend. But he's bored and longs for something more. One day, by chance, Truman discovers he's been living a lie, that he's actually the unwitting star of a hugely popular TV show and that those around him are all really actors. After the initial shock, he's determined to beat the show's creators at their own game and gain his freedom.

The Truman Show-
We watched this 18th October and(seriosly) my eyes were glued to the screen!!! When it was half way, we collected our food, and I just rushed back into my spot(laying down on the table with my best mate)to watch the film. Basically everything about the film was completely brill. When I saw the poster of it I thought it was going to be rubbish, but the saying goes “don’t judge a book by its cover”, but I watched it and it turned out to be utterly, completely ace. If I saw it in the shop I would buy it. Most of the time I didn’t get what was happening, but I picked it up, and I’m glad that I did, or I wouldn’t enjoy it, knowing me if I didn’t get it, I’d look at my mate and look stupid at them.
I am going to give this film 5 stars!!

Fascinating facts

People on the set were forbidden from uttering phrases from Carrey's past 'silly' movies.
