"EDtv"

This comical movie presents a lot of good ideas about reality TV, especially since it was created before the huge boom and hype around reality shows. The main plot to the movie is based on Ed's character. Ed signs on to have is own reality tv show, all cameras, all the time. It is interesting to see how Ed's life changes once the cameras and producers are involved. His relationships with family and friends begins to change.

When Ed tries to quit the show, he finds himself in a fix. It isn't until he digs up some juicy dirt on the producers that he is unable to stop the show. It's almost as if Ed's life isn't his own anymore. It now belongs to America and the producers.

It really makes you think about how reality tv would affect a person's life, and whether or not everything being presented is real.
