The Truman Show was overrated when it came out lol i saw it in theater, its okay, but yeah some people really love it.

I think it is interesting to see how different generations react to movies that were given a lot of accolades and kind of held up as "the best" or one of "the best" of all time. I think when something gets built up you eventually get a reaction against it (in general i mean, I'm not saying your critique is just reaction or anything).
