Matt Roush says...
Depending on your fondness for local journalism, you may not know whether to laugh or cry when, on his first day on the job as the new editor-in-chief of the near-death Toledo Truth Teller, idealistic Ned Sampson (Domhnall Gleeson) is asked which paper he works for: “News or toilet?” The deft workplace comedy, from The Office‘s Greg Daniels, shares that classic’s mock-documentary format and even the same fictional camera crew, as Ned tries to turn around the struggling Ohio newspaper’s fortunes with a skeleton staff of mostly volunteers, sharing a floor with a more profitable toilet-paper company. Like The Office, it strikes a universal chord with its endearingly amusing ensemble of would-bes and never-wases. (See the full review.)
