No, thank you very much for this doc.

Andy Kaufman has made a name for himself in the comedy world, thanks to his improvisation, his “Thank You Very Much” catchphrase, and his role of Latka Gravas on the series “Taxi.” He’s had a short life from 1949-1984, when he died of lung cancer, and there have been rumors that he faked his death. But it will be 41 years in May, so we haven’t heard anything else otherwise.

The new documentary “Thank You Very Much” asks the question: “Who is the real Andy Kaufman?” and it also delivers on the polarization regarding his choice of comedy. I’ve only seen him on one episode of “Taxi,” when Latka made cookies from cocaine, but I was still interested to see how he adjusted in the comedy world and how the people around him were adjusted or at least tried to be.

Among the stories in Andy’s life, his beloved grandfather has passed away, and his parents told him he took a trip. And since the young man has been waiting for him to come home, he had to deal with the pain of rejection. This was one of the ways that made Andy who he was.

We also see how his iconic “Taxi” character was created. What were his rhythms, what was his taste, and who was the real Latka Gravas? And let’s not forget his stage character Tony Clifton, whose personality is the opposite of Andy. Andy agreed to do “Taxi” on the condition that Tony guest stars. Not only did it fail miserably, but they fired him on live television. This persona would lead to Andy having an identity crisis.

And we see how he wrestled women to try to score with them, and reached a low point in his comedy career when he wasn’t funny anymore. At least that’s what they were saying. Not only was he was voted off of “Saturday Night Live,” thanks to a poll, but “Taxi” was also taken off the air.

There are also interviews from Steve Martin, Danny DeVito, James L. Brooks, and Marilu Henner, among others. Even the archival footage from Robin Williams and Michael Richards, among others, has their moments.

“Thank You Very Much” lacks the depth and emotion of other comedian documentaries like “Belushi,” “STEVE! (martin): a documentary in two pieces,” or “Albert Brooks: Defending My Life,” but it does deliver on the comedy and pathos. And I’m not talking about the personal tragedies in Andy’s life, but also how his hateful character Tony Clifton and his wrestling manner has affected people.

There are times when comedy stars hit new lows, which is too bad considering what they previously brought to us, and I’m glad Eddie Murphy has made some career comebacks with “Dolemite is My Name,” “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,” and “Coming 2 America.” But this doc also acknowledges Andy’s comedy and the impact he has given to people in his short life. And again, it’s been 41 years.
