A smart and entertaining movie, not an important one.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 29, 2024

A brilliantly brittle and funny movie about a New York tabloid.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 29, 2024

Ron Howard’s film is full of cynical and arrogant humor. But at its core, it conveys what it means to be a journalist.

The inside-baseball feel of the newsroom material (co-writer Stephen Koepp did time in the trenches) is what makes 'The Paper' sing.

It's clear right away that The Paper benefits substantially from Keaton's typically stellar turn as the central character...

| Original Score: B | Sep 7, 2011

An overwrought, hysterical drama about the newspaper business that doesn't begin to compare to Hollywood's classics of the genre (The Front Page). The film has an absurdly frantic pace but it's so romantically naive and unsubtle that nothing registers

| Original Score: B- | Oct 6, 2006

One of Ron Howard's most underrated films.

Does it show how newspapers really work? Not really, but who cares? It is great fun, even if it is overdone.

Incisively depicts the ways in which busyness, speed and constant pressure violate our souls in the workplace.
