Featured review

Surprisingly great.

This one took me by surprise. Being as it co-stars Michael Richards, and the tag line is "THE 2nd MOST OUTRAGEOUS TRIAL OF THE CENTURY," you naturally expect this to be one of those "wacky, zany" movies. It is anything but.

The main focus is on Jeff Daniels' character, and the personal catharsis he goes through. Michael Richards' performance is surprisingly toned-down and complex, and Charlize Therone adds the perfect romantic side-story.

Nothing earth-shaking here, and Oscar nominations weren't in the cards, but this is a really engaging little gem.

Trivia
In Italy, the film was released under the title "Ancora più scemo" and in Germany, the title was "Noch dümmer". Both titles translate as "Even more Dumber". This was done to make the audience believe that the movie was a sequel to Dumb & Dumber (1994).

Quotes
Charles Tuttle: I don't pose, I don't preen, I don't put perjured testimony on the stand. I don't make a mockery of the American legal system.
Richard Rietti: Well, you got your style. I got mine.
Charles Tuttle: No, you got nothing. You've got nothing. You've got a S.A.G. card and a rent-controlled apartment in Santa Monica. That's what you've got. You're in over your head, Richard. You don't have the equipment for this.
