Profile of EdTV

EdTV can be described as humorous, clever, and contemplative. The plot revolves around a TV show, voyeurism, and media satire. Its comic aspect comes from satire. EdTV's main genres are comedy and drama. In terms of style, it features an all-star cast. In approach, it is realistic. EdTV is set, at least in part, in a store. It is located in San Francisco. It takes place in the 1990s. EdTV is a remake. It is well suited for a date night. Note that it involves sexual content.

Summary of EdTV

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.

Critics Reviews

Entertainment Weekly
The fact that Ed's life has been channeled into entertainment never achieves much tension or comic zest. That's because Howard thinks in cookie-cutter ''situations'' to begin with.
San Francisco Chronicle
The results are comical and unexpected -- and just a bit eerie.
