Movie Description
A normal video store clerk, Ed (McConaughey), doesn't realize what he's getting himself into when he allows a television executive (DeGeneres) to begin filming his life 24 hours a day. The resulting media circus makes for an entertaining social commentary about how important (and, perhaps, detrimental) an issue television has become in our lives.

Industry Reviews
"...Softhearted media satire....A pleasantly diverting look at an engaging dullard..." -- Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly - Mark Bernardin (08/20/1999)
"...A funny ensemble cast clearly savors the absurdity of what unfolds here in an affectionate, rambling comedy..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (03/26/1999)
"...It's zippy, involving, and frequently quite funny. Howard is remarkably deft at deploying his big, vivid cast....[Elfman] imbues her role with oodles of spirit and grit..."
Premiere - Glenn Kenny (04/01/1999)
"...Funnier -- and bawdier -- than TRUMAN's sterile and sexless universe..."
USA Today - Susan Wloszczyna (03/26/1999)
"...A more realistic sense of fly-on-the-wall telly gone too far..."
Total Film - John Walker (08/01/2000)
...¿Well-timed comic performances....An insider's spoof on small-screen shenanigans and a fuller examination of what role television plays in viewers' lives..."
