Very Funny

Rating: 7/10 (13 July 2005)

From the previews, I wasn't about to see this movie, but it came on cable and I was bored.
The movie turned out to be very funny and I liked it a lot.
It is set in the 70's and hits at a lot of the stereotypes. Growing up in the 70's, it hit home for me. The main story is about a woman trying to break into the male dominated work environment of newscasting. Lots of chauvinistic quips but also funny twists to the same.
I was very surprised at the number of stars who kept popping up in this movie too.
If you've seen Bruce Almighty and loved Steve Carell in it. You're going to bust a gut with his performance here.
This is silly comedy for sure, so see it with that in mind. Think Zoolander, Dodgeball, Starsky and Hutch, etc.
