The irrepressible tone of mordant giggliness this movie hits so often is entirely its own, keeping the movie buoyant throughout its over two-hour running time.

Just droll, twisty, and stylish enough to forgive this 136-minute film for using a lot more runway than it needs to be airborne, "Good News" is a veritable caricature of middle-management.

Energetic and astutely paced as it is, this tale simply goes on longer than maximum viewer involvement can withstand, its buoyancy eventually deflating somewhat. Still, too much of a good thing is better than none.

It’s the scathing view of individual and collective self-centeredness that makes Good News a timely story of how it is that everything goes wrong when it shouldn’t.

Everyone is ridiculed, even you, the viewer, for your attempts to sympathize with these self-centered idiots who will only act if it benefits them – and them only.

The cinematography and production design are splendidly evocative, while the ensemble playing is first rate.

Loved this little black dramedy. Great but too short cameo by Park HS.

My only complaint is that it is too long. Regardless, it’s a good laugh and a nice movie to watch. Great cinematography though. And yes, the ending is indeed a good news.
