Review of Edtv

Edtv (1999)
7/10
Feel-good movie still enjoyable without much attention
20 December 2020
Feel-good movie with reality TV as its backdrop/setting, released back when reality TV was still fresh. Structured like a rom-com and taking a similar tone, it doesn't take itself too seriously. It deals with some real issues of reality TV, but it doesn't go too deep and instead focuses on the main character instead of the issues.

Matthew McConaughey's performance is the lynchpin that holds this whole movie together. Woody Harrelson's performance is as good but he doesn't show up as much.

Overall a pretty good movie if you want to just turn off your brain a while and play this on the background while you relax on the sofa. It doesn't demand your attention that much and you don't really need to remember/understand everything to still enjoy it.

7/10
