Danny DeVito directs and stars in this hilarious film about a successful trucker from New Jersey, Vic De Salvo, who pulls a clever scam to become the producer and star of the nation's No. 1 TV show.

Feature-length TV sitcom, only with dirtier jokes. Somewhat palatable

O campeão de audiência estreava há 40 anos nos EUA. Sempre gosto dos filmes do DeVito e aqui não é diferente, acho que foi um bom início para ele alçar voos maiores depois. Plus: Kramer e Seinfeld jumpscare. YouTube ( https://youtu.be/Zba67JwaN2o )

This comedy could have used a lot more laughs. The script is far fetched but does start with an interesting idea. The actors try hard but they needed a better script. Overall this film is disappointing.

A bit long in some parts and an overall thin plot, but Danny DeVito is so lovable. Fav scene: the live taping of the college show.
