Peter Hyams re-routes his pounding action style into a pounding comedy style, in a Faustian fantasy about a couch potato who's sucked up by his satellite dish and spat out into a Satanic cable system. This allows a lot of latitude for spoofs of contemporary television: game shows, professional wrestling, music videos -- of which the mouse cartoon is best. The photography, Hyams's second job besides directing, is a good bit brighter than the wit. John Ritter, Pam Dawber, Jeffrey Jones, Eugene Levy. (1992) — Duncan Shepherd
