Switching Channels

"Switching Channels" is a surprisingly enjoyable '80s comedy, boasting an uproariously funny performance from Burt Reynolds (you gotta love that guy), great lines and sequences and a steady pace that never lets down until the end. The laughs are there, the gags are there, the action is there too. It's obviously strong original material paired with a suitable directorial approach.

Yes, ANOTHER movie version of this story. Whatever anybody else thinks, I think it works. Henry Gibson totally steals his scenes. I kept expecting Beatty to say, "Gee, Mr. Lew-thor"
