rating: 4 QuoteODD MIX OF COMEDY AND DRAMA ...JUDD MAKES IT WORK!Quote
It's hard to believe I never saw of this film growing up. I saw all the other "Brat Pack" movies but , I never even heard of this. I was happy to sit down and see a cast of actors who would become more famous in later years. The film's first act has some very funny(and ridiculous!)court rooms shenanigans and then it turns to a little more serious side. The film flips back to more outrageous comedy and then gets kind of dark, it's all a little uneven to say the least but, I did enjoy it. If your a fan of Judd Nelson you should check this out.

I remember seeing this just once back in the 80s and thinking it was fantastic - then saw these reviews and thought I just had to see it again. Disappointed!!! Is the acting that great? The script is clunky and it has a real "mediocre midday movie" feel about it - check out the titles!? Just about ANY episode of Boston Legal (or The Practice for that matter - note David E Kelley credits on this film) has a more engaging plot. November 4, 2007
