broadcast news be direct by james l. brook ( term of endearment and as good a it get ) and have a great cast and include william hurt and albert brook and and holly hunter . everyone give a good performance and but theyre all too unlikable to really care about them . some part of the film be really brilliant and such a the prologue and and the short scene with jack nicholson . the main reason it doesn not entirely work and be it a film that rely on the character be amuse rather than amuse thing happen to them . you could consider it nothing more than a drama and but it often too silly to be successful there as well . still and the script make it worth a watch . certainly not for everyone . 7. negative .
