Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

elliottjana1 I first watched this movie when in came out in the '70s. Of course, in those days we often watched movies while, let's say, in a cosmic mood and state of mind. Anyway, I remembered it as being absolutely hysterical. It was so in tune with what was happening then and so politically incorrect that you took a double take. I was extremely happy to see that I could still purchase it and did so. I mean it when I say "you had to be there." I can see where it would not appeal to the younger audiences of today and would horrify some of the older viewers. Still, I can't wait to get it in the mail. If you "get" a kind of bent humor then you will really LYAO at this movie. TunnelVision and The Groove Tube were the two funniest movies I can remember seeing from that period of my life.

tavm In reviewing various movies or TV specials featuring "SNL"ers in chronological order, I'm now at 1976 with the release of something called Tunnel Vision. Some years before this, The Groove Tube came out which featured many segments that were originally presented in a revue in New York called Channel One of which one of the players was Chevy Chase. Here Chase plays himself in a mental health PSA. The symptoms listed were pretty amusing though I was disappointed Chase wasn't the one who mentioned them with the announcer of many of the other skits being the one who did. Like that sketch, many of the other ones were shot in the Los Angeles area which was where many of the original "SNL" auditions took place around the time this film was made. So besides Chevy, we also see Laraine Newman (who plays Sonja in an unfunny Norman Lear-type sitcom called "Romon and Sonja"),and Al Franken & Tom Davis in an amusing bit about personality changes in a can. Also, future "SCTV" stars John Candy and Joe Flaherty (credited as Joseph O'Flaherty here) are around with Candy carrying a dismembered head in a "Get Head!" spot which is funny by the title alone and Flaherty in a hilarious sketch with future "Hill Street Blues" star Betty Thomas called "Remember When" which has the host recounting each degrading memory of both contestants including Joe's rape events and Ms. Thomas' beating of her children! Oh, and they're both in degrading costumes! I also found funny a PSA spot about a young woman's attempt to become butch. And I also liked a running gag about a blindfolded French chef constantly bumping into people. Most of the other segments weren't as good, but I give the filmmakers points for trying to shock its target audience into laughter with the excuse of having this take place 10 years into the future with the congressional hearings of the investigation into the title network and its effects on its audience with Howard Hesseman playing the head of the committee, a couple of years before his best known role as Dr. Johnny Fever on "WKRP in Cinncinati". So on that note, Tunnel Vision is worth a look.

rinter-1 This is the worst movie I ever paid to see and with the exception of "They Saved Hitler's Brain" the worst movie I have ever seen period. When this movie came out I was a big fan of SNL and SCTV and therefore was anticipating what I thought would be the funniest movie that could be produced since it did not have the restrictions the TV improv shows must deal with. The writers must have thought we will throw in some grossness, some flatulence jokes, some cheap sex and hey we have a risky side splitting laughable comedy. The game show skits are nothing more than cheap unimaginable take offs on Let's Make a Deal with stupid grossness. The sit com take off involving the single girl and her boyfriend was just plain bad high school humor. The stun gun advertisement was suitable humor for Seasame Street. The LA subway skit was bland humor using tasteless bloodiness. The french chef walking around blind constantly uttering "there is no difference" with a french accent was, well you get my point.The only funny skit involved Chevy Chase which lasted for a whole minute. This means you get 60 seconds of entertainment in this movie. Oh yea I've read the comments about the entire country being stoned in the 1970's and you will like this movie if you are high. Well most of the country was not stoned in the 70's. If the inept writers were stoned it must have been on drowsy sinus medicine. There were 4 other people in the theater besides myself when I saw this movie. Of course word did not get out yet about how bad the movie was.

Lee Eisenberg Having starred in the zany "Groove Tube", Chevy Chase then had a brief appearance in the wacky "Tunnel Vision", about a Senate subcommittee investigating Tunnel Vision, the first free network, in 1985. The channel features various loony shows and commercials, the sort of things that "UHF" later portrayed. Part spoof of '70s TV, part prediction of what the '80s would be, the movie's a hoot. Probably the funniest scene is Henry Kissinger (not the real one, obviously) getting interviewed on a kids' show where the puppet has a comment about Nixon. Along with Chevy Chase, also starring are John Candy, Al Franken, Tom Davis, Betty Thomas, Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman.So, in conclusion, the best movies ever made about TV are: "The Groove Tube", "Tunnel Vision", "The Kentucky Fried Movie" and "UHF".
