Notebook Reviews: THE PAPER

4 out of 5 stars

Ron Howard -1994.

The Paper is an excellent comedy-drama from master of all trades director Ron Howard. It features a typically great performance from Michael Keaton – as well as an all-star supporting cast (Glenn Close, Marisa Tomei, Randy Quaid and Robert Duvall).

It zips along at a frenetic pace and the script crackles. There are plenty of standout moments along with some strong realistic characterisation.

The Paper comes highly recommended.
