So much of what David E. Kelly writes is SO written. It makes it tough to believe that the characters are actual people who could actually exist. Even when you have a cast of (mostly) good actors, they can't make the dialogue sound like anything but a script.
shareNot sure I've ever felt that way watching this movie, but movie dialogue is almost always different from the way people talk in real life.
It's a fun movie and, considering the subject matter, I've surprised even myself with how many times I've seen it. It's a B-movie with an A-list cast and I think the results are quite entertaining.
Bridget Fonda is great.
Totally agree
shareNot to mention the rapid-fire dialogues are genuinely amusing in a droll way. Plus, while the relationships of the protagonists are what psychologists would call conflict-habituated, the movie has a warm heart if one sticks with it till the end. For instance, note how Kelly kisses the Sheriff goodbye.
