"ANITA. No, you didn't tell me. I figured it out. You got a wedding ring and uh ...
you know, she's not here, so... RAVENSWAAL. (Offstage.) Oh ... good work,

"An inevitable idea: a working man (Michael Keaton) who can't meet all his professional and family responsibilities has himself cloned. It works so well having one copy of himself to take charge of matters at the office that he makes another copy who takes care of the home front. Pretty soon, different aspects of Keaton's personality are emphasized in the different clones: the laborer becomes a macho creep and the domestic god becomes ra ..."

"Penny Marshall's popular 1992 comedy sheds light on a little-known chapter of American sports history with its story of a struggling team in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. The league was formed when the recruiting of soldiers during World War II resulted in a shortage of men's baseball teams. The AAGPBL continued after the war (until 1954), and Marshall's movie depicts the league in full swing, beginning when a sav ..."
"A Japanese auto company is persuaded to take over an abandoned factory--and abandoned U.S. workforce--in a small rust-belt town in Middle America. Alas, this wonderful idea for a culture-clash comedy goes pretty much to waste in Gung Ho. Michael Keaton gives his most relentlessly obnoxious performance as the fast-talking shop foreman who never stops BS'ing his Japanese employers, his work buddies (George Wendt and John Turturro among th ..."
"Sie sind Freunde -- und sie teilen ein Problem: Die Midlife-Crisis.

Als Cowboys -- jenseits vom Großstadtleben. Einfach ist es nicht, denn der Boss des Viehtriebes (Jack Pal ..."
"The third entry of 1998-99's cinematic TV trilogy kind of got lost in the shuffle following The Truman Show, an art film masquerading as a blockbuster, and Pleasantville, a heartfelt feel-good movie masquerading as a special-effects extravaganza. EDtv is nothing more than it appears: a scruffy comedy about fame and its discontents. Matthew McConaughey stars as Ed, a white-trash rube who gets his own dawn-to-midnight TV series in which e ..."
"Lors de sa sortie, En direct sur Ed TV s'est retrouvé coincé entre deux autres films traitant d'un sujet proche : Truman Show, sans doute le plus ambitieux, et le très touchant Pleasantville. En direct sur Ed TV est une satire de la gloire et de ses mauvais côtés. Matthew McConaughey incarne Ed, un péquenot qui se retrouve propulsé toute la journée à la télé dans une série qui filme chaque aspect de sa vie, du plus ennuyeux au plu ..."
