Review of EDtv (1999) by Liam R — 20 Mar 2008
Ok why people complain that this is compared to "The Truman Show" when it shouldnt't are soooo wrong. Since "The Truman Show" was obviously inspiration, if not the entire basis for the movie, I feel it is VERY neccessary to compare the 2.
Lets start with the basics, the stories differ in the fact that Truman is unaware while Ed volunteers. HOW CAN YOU BE THAT STUPID!? Who is dumb enough to sign an unbreakable contract with a ceo to film EVERY aspect of his life.
On to the next item on my list. The acting, The Truamn Show has several great actors the most notable being Jim Carrey. EdTV contains several actors that make me think there is no hope left mankind, the most notable being Rob Reiner.
Truman was a very good drama. EdTV was an unfunny comedy. Truamn himself was interesting, funny at times, and quite intelligent. Ed I don't think graduated from highschool. I could go on for hours but I'll end here.
