Review of EDtv (1999)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 05 Dec 2001

Review of EDtv (1999)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 14 Apr 2001

I've never been sold on this anti-TV thesis. It's snooty. It assumes we in the audience have seen the light denied the lower orders…

Review of EDtv (1999)

By Michael Wilmington (1,474) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 30 Sep 2000

The screenplay, by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, based on a French film, has enough sharp gags and plot twists to sustain it, with an ending…

Though thunder lost to The Truman Show, this screenplay still has real and punchy dialogue…

By Doris Toumarkine (464) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 01 Jan 2000

Matthew McConaughey...leverages his immense charm to keep this broad comedy--highly reminiscent of the far superior Truman Show--airborne…

Review of EDtv (1999)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 01 Jan 2000

A respectable, intelligent film, but one, to be sure, that prospers more while in the individual moments, rather than one that remains deeply…

Review of EDtv (1999)

Review of EDtv (1999)

By David Ansen (1,073) for Newsweek (1,534) on 22 May 1999

Ron Howard's version is--no surprise--a funny, audience-friendly entertainment that's ultimately less scathing satire than conventional Hollywood…
