Jeff J @newmexjeff Feb 13 I was already a big fan of Holly Hunter (Raising Arizona), William Hurt (Body Heat, Altered States) and Albert Brooks (Lost in America, Modern Romance) so I was interested in seeing them in the same movie. I was not disappointed. It's an interesting portrayal of unconventional romances and the news industry. Even the secondary characters are good: Joan Cusack, and Lois Chiles have memorable scenes. I rewatch Broadcast News every couple of years and still enjoy it! See more Mickey B. @Mickerdoo Dec 26 Hunter’s magnetism pushes it over the top. Along with interesting character dynamics and stressful atmosphere. Threw a curveball at the end. See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Dec 3 Worst movie ever, and boringest movie ever. I only watched it cuz I saw it was R. SO BORING!!!!! See more Ed . @RT01276001 Aug 29 Was Holly Hunter a hypocrite? Or are women guilty of the same shallowness for which they excoriate men? Or, did Albert Brooks simply not have any mojo? This is the best movie about contemporary TV journalism since Network and in some ways may even best it. Paddy Chayevsky's vision was broader and grander while James L. Brooks' was more sharply focused. Network seemed like farce as it was a prescient warning of the future. Appearance vanquishing intelligence in "broadcast news" was well underway, having started around the time of Network's release with "Action News" clones. The two films together make a complimentary pair of comedy and satire. Compare Peter Finch's Howard Beale from 1976 and William Hurt's Tom Grunick in 1987. Now fold in David Muir and others like him today. Would there be any room for a Walter Cronkite or David Brinkley today?
