Synopsis
Intelligent romantic comedy which satirises American television news. A highly- strung news producer finds herself strangely attracted to a vapid anchorman even through she loathes everything he personifies. To make matters worse, her best friend, a talented but untelegenic news reporter, is secretly in love with her. Jack Nicholson appears in an uncredited cameo as another TV anchorman.
