The Broad in Broadcast News

Broadcast news was a light-hearted change of pace from the other movies we've watched in class. In my opinion, Holly Hunter (as Jane) was the shining star in this movie. She was graceful, spunky, and educated; as well as a dedicated reporter. I loved the scene where she was feeding Tom the news information as he anchored the news desk. The woman was the brains behind the entire operation! Tom's dull, pretty-boy persona left me wanting more for Jane- I didn't want her to fall for him in the slightest!
