Wow! Such a good movie.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I didn't like it. After being a fan of the wacky comedies in this category, such as Kentucky Fried Movie, Groove Tube, and Amazon Women On The Moon, I thought Tunnel Vision would knock it out of the park, especially since I found Neal Isreals name attached to the project. Sad stuff. I had high expectations from you, Neal...but, I won't knock you around too much. After all, this was your earlier work, and you're obviously not the only one I blame for this farce. Better examples of this genre have been made, as stated above. Kentucky Fried Movie reigns supreme in outrageous humor that nobody would have the balls to make today. Tunnel Vison follows the same formula as these films, however, it is much more organized, following an uncensored TV channel from morning light, right up to the signing off screen at midnight. There lies the problem...who asked for it to be organized? Many of us enjoyed the random, unpredictable skits and sketches the films had to offer. Why did you screw that up, Tunnel Vison? Maybe because your blind to comedy, that's the way I see it. Very few chuckles, very few laughs, this movie ranks last on my list that I would ever want to watch again. What world are we living in, anyways, where we put a TV network on trial just because they're scraping in millions of viewers, and leaving other networks with none? Did they run out of REAL cases to take in, or what? The entire movie remains an unforgivable mess, and to think of all the great stars it has. More sad stuff. It doesn't even come close to being as funny as Groove Tube, which I will watch any day of the week. Clocked in at just under 70 minutes, it will feel like 70 hours by the time you get through it, IF you get through it. Even more sad stuff! Tunnel Vision, laugh or get off the pot? I got a better idea. Why don't you take this entire movie, and flush it down the toilet, and don't forget to wipe.

This movie is a prime example of squandering great resources in a film. You've got future SNL and SCTV stars in their prime, such as John Candy, Chevy Chase, Laraine Newman, Al Franken,Tom Davis and Joe Flaherty essentially making 70 minutes of coarse, uninspired fart and racist jokes. The concept of a network from the future subverting society could have really been taken to some interesting extremes, but instead right out the gate, makes a lame, juvenile proctology joke and stays in that vein of humor the whole way.Seek out the earlier and much more subversive and witty Groove Tube or the later, hilarious Kentucky Fried Movie. This movie is only for those who want to see a time capsule of bad 70's sketch comedy movies.

SPOILER WARNING (but you'll thank me for it)I first saw TUNNELVISION at a party back in 1983, and the effects of the intoxicants that were rampant in my 18-year-old brain led me to belive that it was a comedic masterpiece. NOT SO, I say! Bear in mind that this was made at a point in the seventies when it seemed like everyone (including the president) was stoned out of their minds, and most of these gags are geared to a seriously baked audience. Sadly, that type of humor doesn't necessarily work if you aren't stoned, and out of the seventy-five minute running time, I'd estimate that there are maybe 20 minutes of solid laughs. Take my advice and don't miss:REMEMBER WHEN- a gameshow where the contestants are chosen by how foolish and embarrassing their outfits are (Betty Thomas in pasties and a g-string and Joe Flaherty in a ludicrous red dress), with questions asking them to remember the various crimes and degradations that they have committed.RAMON & SONYA- an "All In The Family"-style sitcom about a bunch of foul-mouthed, incestuous gypsies living in New York city.THE BIG BEAT- a wish fulfillment segment reminiscent of Don Kirschener's Rock Concert, only here the audience gets to beat the living hell out of the various performers.HOW TO BE BUTCH- perhaps the ultimate PSA, and hilariously self-explanatory.

If you don't think today's American comedies have been dumbed down, you should give TUNNEL VISION a look. Crude and tasteless, extremely dated, but very, very smart. It's amazing how many jokes you miss because here, it's all in the writing. Sure, kids today won't get a lot of the 70's pop and political references, but if you actually paid attention in your history and political science classes (as well as TNN and TVLAND), it shouldn't be a problem. Can you say that about TOMCATS and AMERICAN PIE? The wraparound segments of a federal hearing pertaining to the effects on the nation for watching the Tunnel Vision network are eerily prophetic given the current Media Marketing Responsibility Act Lieberman and Clinton and Kohl are trying to push. Politically Correct viewers may balk at some of the bits on race, but the film skewers everybody, plus it's obvious that there's more going on then just a cheap laugh at different minority (and majority) groups' expense. TUNNEL VISION is more than just an old sketch comedy movie from the 70's, and it's sad that most modern comedies can't approach the cerebral humor on display here.
