How can it possibly be better. Kelly Preston is the perfect woman. Unless "network" has Preston in it, can't top it.

How can it possibly be better!? Well apart from just about EVERYTHING, Faye Dunaway plays the original part in Network 22 years before that talentless actress you hold so high in your possibly quite shallow esteem. I want to burn Jeff Goldblum and slap Freddie Murphy's idiot face.

Well there you have it.

You enjoy Network and I enjoy "Holy Man" and watching Kelly's nice tail (yes I know, shallow of me...I am but a man after all).

-That's all the time we have, thanks for playing.

The movies are actually almost nothing alike.

I have to agree, network was sending a VERY different message as well. I am sorry, but making that claim is wrong.

Network (1976) is a different movie with different message, but this movie is _STILL_ a rip-off of that movie. It has almost identical parts, it uses 'media' in a very similar way, but it just tells a different, much more watered-down, non-poignant non-story with the typical hollywood romance crap with that premise.

Basically it rips off that movie, then it rips it apart to little pieces and then craps on those pieces and tries to make a 'romance story' out of it. Urgh, talk about vomit-inducing.
