Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
The basic mechanics of the original Hecht-MacArthur story are still sound, and Switching Channels is true to the obsessive-compulsive hostility that is the fuel for all good reporters.

Rating: 3/5 --
Unofficial variant on The Front Page that occasionally works.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Reynolds and Turner turn in nice work as the hard-boiled couple who love to hate one another... Reeve is the surprise in this movie, turning his character into a wonderful caricature of a 1988 self-absorbed yuppie businessman.

Very middling, but still mildly entertaining

Rating: 2/5 --
Reynolds is charming in an otherwise so-so reworking of His Girl Friday.

Rating: 4/5 --
A half-way decent updating of His Girl Friday. Half-way.

Obviously one of the weaker "Front Page" remakes, but still colorful and energetic enough to warrant some faint praise.

Description by OLDIES.com:
The Front Page gets a 1980's update from the print newsroom to broadcast television, complete with era-appropriate heartthrobs Burt Reynolds, Christopher Reeve, and Kathleen Turner. The world of broadcast anchor and journalist Christy Colleran (Turner) is a hectic and often humiliating place, especially under the thumb of ex-husband and producer John "Sully" Sullivan (Reynolds). So when she takes a much needed vacation and meets handsome, wealthy, and self-assured Blaine Bingham, she's determined to leave the rat race and become his wife. But Sully won't let her go so easily, and connives to get her involved in one last big story. Newly remastered.
Product Description:
A TV anchorwoman finds herself caught between a handsome tycoon and her lunatic ex-boss/ex-husband, and the biggest scoop of her career. With only a few hours before she says "I do," the ex-husband, still in love with her, leaps into action to cancel the tycoon and scoop her back. A remake of "His Girl Friday."
