Meet Wally Sparks

About This Movie

So, Meet Wally Sparks is a quirky comedy from '97 that really dives into the world of tabloid journalism—like, the grittier side of it. You’ve got this reporter, Wally, played by the ever-harmless yet witty Rodney Dangerfield, who’s just trying to snag some juicy ratings. The pacing is pretty brisk, which keeps things lively, but the humor can be hit or miss. It captures the absurdity of chasing scandals, especially with Wally crashing into the governor's mansion. The practical effects are minimal, but the performances, especially Dangerfield's, have a certain charm. It's not exactly groundbreaking, but it’s got that late '90s feel and a satirical edge that makes it stand out, for better or worse. Definitely not your typical comedy fare.
