When Jim Carrey agreed to portray the late, great Andy Kaufmann in 1999's Man on the Moon, it was the culmination of a lifelong dream for the actor, who grew up inspired by Kaufmann's groundbreaking performance-art approach to comedy. Still, it's safe to say nobody involved with the film expected where it would lead. Carrey stayed in character for pretty much the entirety of Man on the Moon's production, at times taking the whole method acting thing a bit too far, and losing himself in the process. In Jim and Andy, Carrey and his co-stars reflect 20 years later on the circumstances of shooting the film, which is bolstered by tons of behind-the-scenes footage that brings the fever dream — and all of Kaufmann's iconic personas — to life. — Adam Ismail
