I debated whether this was a romantic comedy or just a comedy and I'll explain why. The central focus of this film is the relationships between Jane (Holly Hunter) and the two men in the newsroom Aaron (Albert Brooks) and Tom (William Hurt). This is a battle of handsome vs. smart. Aaron has been friends with Jane for years, he graduated high school at age 15 and is very witty. Tom is the new news anchor and accepts that he is not as smart as Aaron but good at his job.Most romantic comedies would make Tom out to be the bad guy, only wanting to bed Jane and only concerned with his career. But he isn't. He happens to be very humble [or is he...] about his successful career and Aaron turns out to be the immature one.
There are some very funny moments in this film. Jane is incredibly annoying to me. Her attitude that it is not real news unless it is politics or death is exactly what I think it wrong with the evening [bad] news. She clearly doesn't understand balance when it comes on what to report on.
There are better and more current films to watch instead of this one. Once was enough for me, and since it was good I will give it a 7/10.
Vote: 7/10
