Ed . Aug 29 Kathleen Turner Overdrive Most TV movies I've seen are better. The best part of this movie was the Michel Legrand musical score during the ending credits. There are maybe 2 or 3 semi funny lines, but almost everything about this film is uninspiring. Such as the name of the cable news channel. Broad acting works when paired with very funny dialogue. With this movie's dialog, it doesn't fall flat because it would have had to first rise. It never does. This film sucks! Also, Kathleen Turner looks like a porker in this film and her clothing, for example her oversized blazers further detracts. Actor appearances are fair game considering they are key attributes for hiring and for paying those huge salaries. Christopher Reeve was TOO handsome for his part. Burt Reynolds was too DUMB to start a needless fight with Turner. Ned Beatty was just right in this and every film he's ever been in. See more Steve D 03/02/2023 Dull knockoff of better films.

Burt's still sticking it to the Man. See more 10/07/2017 Apparently a remake of two films - The Front Page and His Girl Friday. In this one we have a female news anchor/reporter in a love triangle with a new well-to-do suitor and her ex, who is also her boss. A bit too much screwball comedy for my taste. See more 07/19/2015 "Switching Channels" is a surprisingly enjoyable '80s comedy, boasting an uproariously funny performance from Burt Reynolds (you gotta love that guy), great lines and sequences and a steady pace that never lets down until the end. The laughs are there, the gags are there, the action is there too. It's obviously strong original material paired with a suitable directorial approach. See more 08/26/2013 Rubbish remake of His Girl Friday featuring possibly Christopher Reeve's worst performance. Burt Reynolds does his usual. The only saving grace is Kathleen Turner.
