Review of EDtv (1999) by Edgar C — 09 Oct 2011
The most immediate comparison will be Peter Weir's The Truman Show. Also, the most immediate repliers will argue that whereas the focus of the latter is to highlight a surprisingly prophetic interest of a blind-folded and consummerist society to seek fame and recognition regardless of the merits achieved, Howard constructs a comedy out of the same reason, being the focus in this case the ambition of TV corporations.
Meh! I say it doesn't trascend and the seekers for comedy and gorss-out humor or corny romance will never get the message. That's the problem. Repliers are giving to this much more seriousness than it deserved, and if the intention was actually serious, why turn EdTV into one more crap contribution to the "comedy" genre? Answer that, please, and I'll raise this to 4 stars or whataver you wish.
42/100.
