Title: This movie had potential
Review: What happened?This movie had a decent premise. There is much to poke fun at about the seventies, but this movie didn't do it. It seems as though nobody associated with this movie was trying very hard.Somebody already mentioned the missed opportunity for a running gag about Ron reading whatever is on the teleprompter. The scene where Corningstone and Burgandy trade insults over the credits, while very good initially, ran much too long and would have been more effective as a running gag.At one point, there is a "rumble" between news teams of competing stations. Initially, it was fun, but dragged on way too long.There were perhaps half a dozen good scenes. But, rather than write more good scenes, this movie chose to drag those half dozen out until they weren't funny anymore.
Is the review positive or negative?
