EDtv: (DTS)
"Hilarious! Great Fun!" - Jonathon Foreman - New York Post
It’s the unforgettable story of a nobody...that everybody’s watching! Matthew McConaughey and Jenna Elfman star in the hilarious romantic comedy Joel Siegel of Good Morning America calls “Big-Laugh Funny.”
Ed Perkuny (McConaughey) is just a regular guy who feels he has nothing to lose by agreeing to be a star of a new reality-based TV show. Almost overnight, the program becomes a hit, and suddenly this goofy but engaging video clerk is a national celebrity! Everything’s fabulous...until Ed falls head-over-heels for Shari (Elfman), the girlfriend of his brother Ray (Woody Harrelson). Suddenly their most private moments become public entertainment – and the ratings go through the roof – as millions of fans tune in to watch a real soap opera filled with comedy and romance.
Superbly directed by Ron Howard and featuring a stellar supporting cast including Elizabeth Hurley, Sally Kirkland, Martin Landau, Ellen DeGeneres, Rob Reiner and Dennis Hopper, EDtv is an outrageous look at instant fame, overnight success, and sharing your life with a few million of your closest fans.

Never Forget this one! - skylar22
I rarely watch a movie more than once. But the storyline in this one is so engaging I have seen it three times at least.
I love Matthew's character and his easy going ways and how he came to be on EdTV, the love story is great too. How the public gets involved in his love life and the bosses want a say, a real wake up call when your life is on tv!
Must must see!your on camera! action. - movie_goer
This is based on a true story in San Francisco years back they did a experimental reality show on a ordinary guy just finding a way to joggle his family life, jobs and love life into one big balancing act. of coarse this movie was over Dramatized and changed the names and used actors,its pretty bad if a cable channel is desperate enough to find anything for viewship. woody harlison is utterly annouying i wish someone would tell him to shut it or maybe tape his mouth for awhile. Jenna Elfman's sweet,and talented as always puts this movie into a great catagorie of its own, maybe next to the Truman show?Very Good Movie - B-mack
I remember seeing an ad for EDtv when I was back in highschool and thinking that it wasn't going to be good because the Truman show (starring Jim Carrey) had already came out and dealt with a man living his life on tv. But the funny thing is when I rented it on tv, I found out the premise was really different and that I found the characters to be very refreshing and funny. I recommend this to everyone who is a fan of romantic comedies that will make you laugh but not to the point were you will not take the movie seriously :)
