Unnecessary Crudeness

Rating: 4/10 (16 December 2005)

The story of this movie was good - an egotistical male news anchor in the 70's, a time when women were just starting to break into this business, who gets upstaged by an attractive female anchor whom his station just hired. This storyline had potential for a successful comedy movie.
Unfortunately the movie contained all sorts of crude and juvenile dialogue, that really didn't need to be in the movie to tell the story. It only made the movie appealing to 12-year-olds learning about the birds and the bees. Anyone with a brain stem knows that San Diego is not a German name, and that it doesn't mean a certain part of a whale's anatomy.
In short, this good story could have worked, but the crudeness made it a waste of time and money, and an insult to intelligence.
