Movie synopsis

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.

Editorial reviews

...…Well-timed comic performances....An insider's spoof on small-screen shenanigans and a fuller examination of what role television plays in viewers' lives..."
Sight and Sound - Leslie Felperin

"...Softhearted media satire....A pleasantly diverting look at an engaging dullard..." -- Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly - Marc 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)

A charming romantic comedy

Created: 05/09/07
I just watched this movie and it is just charming.
It is a sweet Romantic Comedy Staring the adorable Matthew McConaughey & Jenna Elfman . They have a good on screen chemistry.
ED (McConaughey) is chosen to be in a reality show that follows a regular guy 24/7. Some of it is a little predictable but a nice laid back entertaining movie.


This movie has a great cast - Adam Goldberg, Clint Howard, Dennis Hopper, Elizabeth Hurley, Ellen DeGeneres, George Plimpton, Jenna Elfman, Martin Landau, Matthew McConaughey, Michael Moore, Rob Reiner, Sally Kirkland, Viveka Davis, Woody Harrelson

EdTV (1999,DVD )

Created: 27/02/09
IT'S THE UNFORGETTABLE STORY OF A NOBODY... THAT EVERYBODY'S WATCHING! MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY AND JENNA ELFMAN STAR IN THE HILARIOUS ROMANTIC COMEDY. ED PERKURNY IS JUST A REGULAR GUY WHO FEELS HE HAS NOTHING TO LOSE BY AGREEING TO BE A STAR OF A NEW REALITY-BASED TV SHOW. ALMOST OVERNIGHT, THE PROGRAM BECOMES A HIT, AND SUDDENLY THIS GOOFY BUT ENGAGING VIDEO CLERK IS A NATIONAL CELEBRITY! EVERYTHING'S FABULOUS... UNTIL ED FALLS HEAD-OVER-HEELS FOR SHARI, THE GIRLFRIEND OF HIS BROTHER RAY. SUDDENLY THEIR MOST PRIVATE MOMENTS BECOME PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENT-AND THE RATINGS GO THROUGH THE ROOF-AS MILLIONS OF FANS TUNE IN TO WATCH A REAL SOAP OPERA FILLED WITH COMEDY AND ROMANCE.

Reality Television Gone Bad

Created: 05/10/06
A clerk allows himself to be followed by a camera crew 24-7. He later realize the mistake he made. This reality television gone too far. The challenge to figure out how to get out of the deal. This usually interesting and often funny movie. I think it is a testiment to the hunger of today's TV elecutives search for new programming. It is not the greatest movie but it is great for a laugh.
