why be there so much angst among the imdb reviewer who hate this film . it isn not a masterpiece and but have view it twice it do come across a compelling drama set in the world of network tv . robin stone be the epitome of every dan rather and phillip stone and and brian what his name on nbc . a mannequin of a man incapable of love who succeed professionally and but fail miserably in his personal life . i work for eight ( 8 ) year in network news and robin stone do exist . the support cast work for me from cannon ( who can be annoy and but isn not in this film ) to greene ( who play pathos just right ) to wexler ( who score a the young model in love w or the image of prince charming and can not reconcile that image w or the true ugliness inside ) . also of note be the end which some imdb reviewer claim be a cop out . it not . listen to the song he move on for clue a to the arc the robin stone character travel that bring him to finally face his issue . he realize the answer do not lay w or the life he live and the symbolic walk away from those he associate himself with and at the end be perfect .
