Script review - "The Paper" by David and Stephen Koepp

 No one talks about this film but I liked it when it came out and feel the script held up. It's a 24 hours in the life of movie, the life being people who work at a New York tabloid, though not an evil one. There's Bernie the head business guy I guess, Alicia the other business person and Henry the editor. Some bits really shine - the whiny reporter going on about his ergonomic chair, Bernie telling Alicia that they cover the rich people's world they don't live in it, Henry stealing off the New York Times surrogate, Henry's pregnant wife meeting a source and laughing at his jokes. A nice movie.
