I just watched "The Truman Show" this afternoon and was surprised at how good an actor he was. I also enjoyed him in "The Majestic." But I detest the comedic films he's been in and the over the top mugging he (or his directors) seems to think is funny. Any film with him or Adam Sandler goes on "never bother to watch" list.
