Romantic comedies are rarely rewarded by the Academy. But this James L. Brooks film is smarter, funnier and far more touching than most. It traces the love triangle between three very different television journalists: William Hurt’s impossibly shallow anchor, Albert Brooks’ painfully insecure reporter, and Holly Hunter’s type-A+ producer. Hidden inside this bittersweet romantic comedy is an insightful, still relevant criticism of TV news.
