Synopsis

From his dead-end job to dealing with his deadbeat brother (Woody Harrelson), the things that comprise Ed's (Matthew McConaughey) life don't amount to much. But when a television executive puts Ed in front of the camera 24 hours a day, his now-public existence gets much more interesting. Director Ron Howard explores Ed's newfound fame -- and the discontentment that grows among his family and friends. Jenna Elfman co-stars.
