    • Trivia
      Albert Brooks revealed that when he first read the script, the scene where Aaron does a weekend broadcast simply noted "Something bad happens to Aaron on the air." Albert was watching CNN when a reporter he'd never seen before (and hasn't seen since) began sweating badly. Albert phoned writer and director James L. Brooks at three in the morning, and stated that Aaron HAD to start sweating profusely.
    • Goofs
      As Jane approaches the restaurant to meet the gang for drinks, William Hurt (Tom) peeks around the corner early and realizes he jumped his cue. He quickly pulls back, then he and Jennifer walk around the corner as if they had just left.
    • Quotes

      Paul Moore: It must be nice to always believe you know better, to always think you're the smartest person in the room.

      Jane Craig: No. It's awful.

    • Crazy credits
      Albert Brooks' singing of "L'Edition Speciale" from the film also briefly appears in the end credits.

    Sadly true and great.
    I say sadly because if you see this movie now, you realize how low our media has sunk- all the warning signs are in this movie.

    It's a great film, I think the last great James Brooks film, but others may disagree. It has rich characters (who are believable as well), great acting, great writing, and although the music got a little cheesy, I even liked that.

    William Hurt has never been better. Holly Hunter is stunning. And Albert Brooks walks away with every scene he's in- this triangle of people is beautifully drawn and compelling and made the whole movie soar above it's vital and important topic of the News, and how it's slowly being compromised in our nation.

    Watch this with NETWORK for a truly fun and frightening evening.
