How's Your News? may not be the greatest road-movie ever made, but it's definitely a strong contender for runner-up honors. A Village Voice reviewer got it exactly right when he praised documentary filmmaker and disability camp counselor Arthur Bradford for "always knowing the difference between laughing at and laughing with," because that's a crucial distinction to make when confronting disability in politically correct America. Without a shred of condescension, Bradford hit the road from New Hampshire to Hollywood with Ron Simonsen (who has cerebral palsy), Larry Perry (advanced cerebral palsy), Robert Bird (Down Syndrome), Sean Costello (Down Syndrome), and Susan Harrington (mild retardation and legal blindness), who proceed to encounter everyday Americans with their cross-country "news team" interviews. Financed by South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker (who include various disabled characters in their irreverent animated series), the resulting travelogue is a frequently hilarious, powerfully revealing (in-your-face disability tends to be a Rorschach test for human behavior), unexpectedly moving (as when Simonsen meets his TV hero, Chad Everett) and illuminating look at being "different" in a country that clings too tightly to the security blanket of conformity. How's your news? Thanks to these intrepid reporters, it's very good indeed! --Jeff Shannon (quadriplegic since 1979)

Customer Reviews of How's Your News?

would you like to chase the blues awaaaaay?
This is a great example of the perseverance of the mentally and physically challenged. I am so glad someone made this happen for these people, it was very nice of them, and it's hilarious.


Such a great documentary!
If you have ever had a family member, friend or client with a disability, please see this film. It's a delightful documentary about 5 people with disabilities who become people-on-the-street interviewers and do a wonderful job. <

>The music is wonderful, too as are the special scenes.


not clear what the point is
After a recommendation this arrived via Netflix. The fact that the "laughing with them, laughing at them" dichotomy must be explored at all is a major failing. Disappointingly, I think most viewers will inevitably shade to the latter. While the premise of the movie, i.e., a cross-country trip and accompanying filmic narrative, is compelling and nominally empowering for the participants, the audience is left only to chuckle and casually observe, not truly engage, empathize or otherwise understand those in the movie. There are far superior efforts at engaging those who are mentally and physically disadvantage or otherwise "different."
