Author: jbels from Chicago

This is one of the worst of 1999. It is a mean-spirited, meandering farce which offers none of the usual laughs from the writing team of Ganz and Mandel. It has been reported that Ron Howard was upset at the way Universal handled the film, but who's really to blame. All energies were put into saying that "this isn't The Truman Show" but it is The Truman Show, and MTV's The Real World, only it's no fun.
