Edtv (1999)
a mediocre disappointment
8 September 2000
I have to say that "EdTV" is better off to be a sequel to "The Truman Show" rather than a brand new movie.

Despite what others say about "EdTV," I believe it to be a rip off of "The Truman Show" because it is basically contains the same premise. I must say that it did have originality, which I enjoyed and basically the only reason it was bearable to watch.

Matthew McConaughy, Jenna Elfman, Ellen DeGeneres and Woody Harrelson star as "EdTV" just misses the target. While it is my opinion that it is a disappointment, I did enjoy how Ron Howard showed the life of a celebrity and all the trials and tribulations they face every day.

With performances that were so-so, "EdTV" was a humorous look at celebrity life, which I enjoyed.

However, I can't believe so many huge stars contributed to this film. It seemed as if they were more like cameos than actual roles.

I give this film a 6 out of 10.
