Chicago Tribune"Jane Craig is a feminist heroine in a way that few female romantic-comedy protagonists since have been, even the ones we consider strong and independent."

Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"Watching the film many years after my first viewing, though, what really strikes me about “Broadcast News” today is director/writer/producer James L. Brooks’ spot-on prediction that news was headed for commodity status."
