Though thunder lost to "The Truman Show", this screenplay still has real and punchy dialogue.

EdTV isn't bad enough to get angry about, but it's a mundane and toothless satire.
January 01, 2000
Its screenplay veers in highly questionable directions before reaching a mean-spirited climax that outweighs Ron Howard's workmanlike filmmaking and the contributions of a star-powered cast.
June 13, 2002
Diverting but ultimately toothless and innocuous.
February 03, 2015
Comic satire of reality TV; lots of dysfunction, sexuality.
November 06, 2014
...a fine premise that's utilized to progressively underwhelming effect...
January 01, 2000
It's a slightly lackluster comedy that wants to have something to say, but never gets around to saying it. Or worse, says it, and the audience replies, 'And--?'

You'll have a good time watching "EDtv"-- Howard is always at his best in comic mode, and he gives the film a cleverly cluttered look that suggests the experience of watching reality on multiple monitors.
