THE STORY OF A NOBODY EVERYBODY IS WATCHING!

edtvVideo-store clerk Ed Pekurny (Matthew McConaughey) agrees to be the center of a new reality show, having cameras follow him 24-7; the ensuing chaos hurts people close to him, including a would-be girlfriend (Jenna Elfman). Director Ron Howard’s film is a well-made comedy with a pleasant cast, including Martin Landau. However, in real life few reality shows that involve genuine, endearing people would captivate a nation the way EdTV does. Points made about personal integrity are predictable and Peter Weir’s The Truman Show (1998) stole some of Ed tv’s thunder.

1999-U.S. 122 min. Color. Directed by Ron Howard. Screenplay: Lowell Ganz, Babaloo Mandel. Cast: Matthew McConaughey (Ed Pekurny), Jenna Elfman (Shari), Woody Harrelson (Ray Pekurny), Sally Kirkland, Martin Landau, Ellen DeGeneres… Rob Reiner, Dennis Hopper.

Trivia: The movie is a remake of a Canadian film, Louis XIX: Roi des ondes (1994).
