Watch: Man on the Moon 1999 123movies, Full Movie Online – A biographical film on the late comedian Andy Kaufman. Kaufman, along with his role on Taxi (1978), was famous for being the self-declared Intergender Wrestling Champion of the world. After beating women time and time again, Jerry Lawler (who plays himself in the movie), a professional wrestler, got tired of seeing all of this and decided to challenge Kaufman to a match. In most of the matches the two had, Lawler prevailed with the piledriver, which is a move by spiking an opponent head-first into the mat. One of the most famous moments in this feud was in the early 80s when Kaufman threw coffee on Lawler on [error], got into fisticuffs with Lawler, and proceeded to sue NBC..
Plot: The story of the life and career of eccentric avant-garde comedian, Andy Kaufman.

Just great
Jim Carrey delivers on of the greatest acting achievements of the nineties in this stunning biopic about the legendary comedian Andy Kaufman (the man on the moon, according to REM). For me as a European citizen, Andy Kaufman is a complete mystery. I’ve never seen any of his performances in Saturday Night Live nor have I ever seen any of his live shows. After seeing the movie five times, I as a Dutch not-knowing citizen who had never heard of Kaufman before, can make an image of the man and his brilliance. This is all thanks to Milos Forman and a stunning Jim Carrey, who really becomes Andy Kaufman. According to me, this movie is where Jim Carrey proves that he is just more than a funny guy, and after seeing him in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) Carrey has really proved that he is in fact a character actor.
Great Acting, Terrible Movie
A tremendous accomplishment by Jim Carrey, but a useless and frustrating movie. The film does nothing to explain why Kaufman was so troubled, deluded, and self-destructive. It doesn’t explain why he was fascinated with wrestling women and how on earth the Courtney Love character could have ever fallen for him. Lastly, it doesn’t entertain the audience (a common shortcoming with the subject himself). Only Carrey’s performance spares this film a “1.” Terrible! Not worth two hours of anyone else’s time!
