The News Movie

The Onion invades DVD! Based on the wildly popular newspaper hailed by The New Yorker as "the funniest publication in the United States", The News Movie (aka The Onion Movie) brings you uncensored, uninhibited, UNRATED news and views from around the world.

In a stunning development, when Onion News anchorman Norm Archer (Len Cariou) is asked to compromise his journalistic integrity to please a new corporate sponsor, he doesn't just get mad, he gets... angry. Taking aim at pop stars, prisoners, peace talks and, of course, high testosterone action films, The News Movie delivers hard hitting headlines - and side-splitting laughs!
