I LIKE THIS FILM-BRAD
Dear Folks,
This writer likes this movie...in fact,I think it is HILARIOUS!!!
To my knowledge,I have never read a book by Mr.Wolfe(so I had no axe to grind with this film's makers).
For me,I just wanted to see a Good film comedy...and I got my wish.
I do recall how this film was attacked critically before it was even in the movie theaters(The Actors were a major target because the characters they play
differ Greatly in Mr.Wolfe's Acclaimed Book ...as I've heard).
I wanted to see this film as soon as I saw it's cast:
Tom Hanks,Melanie Griffith and Bruce Willis.
When I did get to see this film I enjoyed it from my first viewing of it.
It is a GOOD Satire with A Great performance by Saul Rubinek as the nebbish
Assistant District Attorney -Jed Kramer and Morgan Freeman as the Judge who rules with an iron fist(and knows the power of publicity).
Whether one likes it or not depends on just how much flexibility you are willing to give the writers of this film,it's Director and it's Cast .
To Better Days,
BRAD
