Not only do I think this was the best film of 1987, it's probably in my own amorphous list as one of the 10-20 best films I've ever seen. For whatever reason, I really connected with this movie, and it is one of the most personal films I had seen at that point in my life (I was 26). For better or worse, I strongly identified with the Holly Hunter character (and I'm a guy!). She plays an extremely bright, loyal and intense woman who couldn't figure out romantic relationships. There were so many things that she said in this movie that were things that I would say or have said to others in similar circumstances. And the ending of the movie I find to be so very, very sad. Obviously, this role was the big break for Holly Hunter. Clearly, I was not the only one to think so highly of it.

The television news business, half a sharp, friendly satire and the other half a deadly serious drama about thirty-somethings struggling to find love and meaning in their lives. A lopsided romantic triangle consisting of a spunky female news producer, a shallow anchorman, and a scruffy, amiable reporter runs hot and cold as each of the participants take turns one-upping each other. Despite good performances (including an unbilled Jack Nicholson as a network Big Fish) and a literate screenplay, the characters are truly too old to be acting like such lovestruck juveniles. Writer-director James L. Brooks proves to be a bit shallow himself, though he knows his way around a strong dramatic sequence and understands this milieu incredibly well. Unfortunately, the boy-girl stuff eventually cancels out the funny office in-jokes, leading to a flat, dispiriting conclusion wherein nobody gets what they want. **1/2 from ****

Excellent movie about a big media firm and the goings on both on and off camera. Covering several years, the film centers on 3 upwardly mobile, young hopefuls, all striving for their place within the corporation. Well written dialogue, flawless acting, and a riveting story made for 2 hours of solid entertainment.

It's been over 20 years since I've seen this film. Like others on this site, I lament how 'forgotten' it is. I remember liking it a lot, but found it to be absolutely terrific. The writing and direction are first-rate, but I cannot remember seeing three interwoven performances as good as these. It's easy to minimize Hurt's work because his character is the least likable of the three. That would be a mistake. Hurt is wonderful here and leaves us wondering if maybe he's not as dim as he appears to be. Hunter and Brooks, on the other hand, just shine. This is career defining work for all of them. The ending (which I won't reveal here) is powerful in the least-clichéd way possible. The movie has aged very well. See it if you can - either again or for the first time.

I'm sitting around going through movie listings and not really seeing anything I want to see. My appetite keeps saying, "Something like BROADCAST NEWS." That's what I want. Something smart and funny, with adult ideas and great acting and writing, and a directorial style that doesn't call attention to itself. This may well be Hurt's best performance (is this or THE BIG CHILL, to my mind): however eccentric, Hurt is smart, and to play an unintelligent person without making sure -- wink wink -- the audience knows -- wink wink -- hey, I'M not stupid... well, that's fine acting right there. Hunter is note-perfect, and Albert Brooks is a revelation. (And he can read and sing at the same time!) Great, great work.

This movie is one of my favorite comedies of all time. The dialog is crisp, the pace is fast. Not only is this a clever comedy, this is an interesting look at what goes on behind the scenes in the television news business. There are so many funny lines...a couple of my favorites: Ernie Merriman: (sarcastically) It must be nice to always believe you know better, to always think you're the smartest person in the room. Jane: (seriously) NO, it's not, it's awful!! Aaron: He must be good looking Jane: How do you know that? Aaron: No one invites a bad looking idiot to their room! The performances of Holly Hunter, Albert Brooks, and William Hurt were absolutely brilliant! Even years later, I remember this movie well. Often forgotten is the wonderfully funny Joan Cusack! I love the scene where the newsroom personnel are racing to beat a deadline. There are so many funny scenes that it's hard to pick a favorite. I highly recommend this film.

James L. Brook is one of those directors who always seems to take a quirky look at life. He isn't only the producer for "The Simpsons," he has some classic comedies under his belt -- "Broadcast News" is one of them. Although it doesn't match his later effort "As Good As It Gets," "Broadcast News" is still a very clever, funny and witty movie about a television broadcasting station and all the problems they suffer. There's a great comedic sequence of physical humor where Joan Cusack is running around the building trying to rush a news tape to the editing room in a matter of mere minutes before it is to be broadcast live on TV. This isn't only very truthful in terms of how hectic broadcasting stations are operated, but also a skillful and honest portrayal of human beings. A low-key, subtle movie with good acting (especially from Hurt, who I don't always like so much) and apt direction.
