"Confessions of a dangerous mind" tells the life of Chuck Barris, the creator of the blind dating-show which became famous all over the world. I'm not going to tell much more about the story because that might ruin the movie. All I can say about Barris' life is that it wasn't exactly an ordinary life he lived, but it certainly was worth turning into a movie. This movie is also the proof that George Clooney is more than a pretty face and a fine actor, he's a talented director as well.
Sam Rockwell gives a funny, tragic and intense performance as Chuck Barris. Although I'm not exactly Drew Barrymore's biggest fan, I really loved her in this movie. She was great, as well as Clooney himself and Julia Roberts. Fine cameo's by Clooney's friends Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and "Spin City"-star Richard Klein.
Another great movie from which the screenplay was written by one of the most talented screenplay writers of the last 5 years: Charlie Kaufman. Although their lives were completely different, I think you can compare this movie to Andy Kaufman's biopic "Man On The Moon" starring Jim Carrey. This similarity might be caused by the tragic undertone in the lives of these both men. This movie is a strong debut for Clooney as a director and is certainly worth watching. I loved the last lines of this movie a lot. Pay attention to them! 7,5/10
