If there's a tray full of food within camera range, rest assured that somebody will knock it over. If a stuck-in-the-elevator-on-the-eve-of-an-important-event routine presents itself, rest assured that its staging will be tried and true.

The film that started Zemeckis on his rise to fame. Coo coo kachoo.

An interesting social document about a watershed media event as well as a thoroughly entertaining movie.

There are a few good moments (particularly for people who know the show's host and enjoy the spoof), but it seems an over heavy trip to the uninitiated.
