EDtv (1999)
A television studio manager (Ellen DeGeneres) has an idea about how to save a failing TV station - film and broadcast a normal person's life 24 hours a day. EDtv is born the moment her eye falls on Ed Pekurny, a friendly video store clerk played by Mattew McConaughey.
After the show's first week on air, Ed's fame grows and grows, but then conflicts (冲突) start up, particularly with Ed's girlfriend and his family. After a while, Ed decides he wants to stop being part of the show, but he finds out his contract can't be reversed (撤销). But in a country that turns the TV set on at breakfast and off at bedtime, anything can happen ... Ron Howard's comedy is well worth watching.
