Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): i do n't know what movie the critics saw , but it was n't this one .
the popular consensus among newspaper critics was that this movie is unfunny and dreadfully boring .
in my personal opinion , they could n't be more wrong . if you were expecting airplane !
-like laughs and agatha christie - intense mystery , then yes , this movie would be a disappointment .
however , if you 're just looking for an enjoyable movie and a good time , this is one to see
.
honest , it is .
this story is about a 4th network , wbn , taking to america 's airwaves in 1939 .
penny henderson ( mary stuart masterson ) , the station owner 's secretary , must deal with her overbearing boss , an unimpressed sponsor and writers ready to quite on a moment 's notice , partly due to the fact that they have n't been paid in weeks .
among the mayhem , she must also deal with her soon - to - be ex - husband , roger ( brian benben ) who desperately wants her back .
unfortunately , her problems only get worse as the night goes on and the body count rises without explanation .
while trying to woo penny back , roger must deal with the police and try to find the killer that lurks at wbn .
mary stuart masterson
does well in her role as penny ( i 'm trying to be unbiased so i wo n't tell you how amazing she looked ) , although brian benben gets most of the screen time .
along with the two leads , are several recognizable faces , including corbin bernsen ( l . a . law ) , michael mckean ( laverne & shirley ) and bobcat goldthwait .
the special effects are amazing , and fooled me ( which some may argue is n't very difficult to do ) in many scenes .
although the movie sometimes goes overboard with the physical comedy , it more than makes up for those mistakes throughout the movie .
overall , i gave it , or an , depending on what system you use .
