While I found the movie interesting, I was disappointed that Kathy Bates, who does bare a physical resemblance to Kushnick, did not think it necessary to lose the 60 pound weight difference that would have made her performance more accurate and that she shuffled rather than walked with the clip Kushnick had in her step. I was hoping for more insight into the character's motivations and was disappointed to find it to be pretty much of a "hit" job on all of them. Overall the film was enlightening as to the inside workings of network television, but I was left wondering how accurate the representation of each person was. It seemed as if they were reaching for the tabloid aspect of the story.
