Synopsis:
America's most popular satirical newspaper makes the leap from the printed page to the silver screen in this political comedy that explores what happens when journalistic integrity is compromised by corporate sensibility. Onion News anchorman Norm Archer is s principled journalist, so when he's asked to bend to the will of his corporate overlords he decides to strike back with a fury unheard of in the world of network news. Nothing is sacred as the creative force behind The Onion unleash an unrelenting barrage of satire on such subjects as pop stars, prisoners, peace talks, and blockbuster action films.

Review:
Well, I don't think I would have picked this movie up if it weren't for my boyfriend. I'm kind of glad he got it though, because this movie was pretty funny and entertaining. If you've never heard of The Onion before, it's pretty much like the Daily Show and Weekend Update only with X-Rated material. The movie covered a lot of bases, including Britney Spears and computers and how you can never seem to get the latest version. This is the only movie I liked that cast Steven Seagal; he's Cock-puncher, what more could you ask for? This movie reminds me of SNL a lot -- sketch-like material and a lot of satire. I recommend renting this movie for a good laugh, you won't be let down.
My Rating: 7/10
