EDtv

Like "The Truman Show" EDtv is a media satire, but it is just as much a very funny romantic comedy. Compared to "The Truman Show", EDtv is more light-hearted and less worried about the cynicism of the media. It has not got the satiric sting of Peter Weirs film.

Ed Pekurny is an ordinary guy who becomes the star of the authentic live show EDtv that reports from Eds life 24 hours a day. At the beginning everybody is happy: Ed enjoys being in the spotlight and the producers at True TV are exited about Ed's popularity and the ratings of the show, but what was meant to be a live transmission of the everyday life of the boy next door soon becomes the stalking of a celebrity.

The casting Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as brothers was just waiting to happen.
