I think the romance is soupy - as defined by a lot of doe-eyed looks from Field toward Newman and some rather hammy dialogue. I am not a journalist by trade. Face it, this movie has none of the biting satire or intellectual sophistication of movies like Broadcast News or Network.Bina007https://www.blogger.com/profile/01622085135305501711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18360914.post-41892899632969450612010-02-22T22:01:49.863+00:002010-02-22T22:01:49.863+00:00There is nothing "soupy" about the roman...There is nothing "soupy" about the romance, and your remarks about its being between "middle aged" people (Fields character is 34) is less than enlightened. The film has quite a bit to say about journalistic ethics, and says it quite well. I'm always intrigued by the critical reception that this<br />film receives. It is more telling about the offronted journalists who review it than the film itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
