The Paper
1994
**½
Director: Ron Howard
Cast: Michael Keaton, Robert Duvall, Marisa Tomei, Glenn Close
A reporter for the fictional New York Sun investigates a dodgy double homicide just when his wife is about to give birth. This drama comedy has sharp dialogue and a strong performance by Robert Duvall, but overall it's poorly scripted (Duvall's illness or Tomei's fit are irrelevant).
