Movie synopsis

After burying himself under an alcoholic avalanche at his bachelor party the night before an important trial, an up-and-coming defense attorney reluctantly relinquishes his briefcase to his best friend, a flamboyant out-of-work actor. It's chaos in the courtroom, territory previously covered by Lynn in "My Cousin Vinny."

Comedy with a twist

Created: 23/10/06
In this movie, Trial and Error, Jeff Daniels is the legal eagle who becomes a lame duck when his best friend steps into a small town courtroom pretending he's the attorney. In no time these clowns turn the courtroom into a circus, and while the actor delivers the performance of his career, the lawyer finds true love in a film that's funny beyond all reasonable doubt.

mundane love story? courtroom drama? did you say comedy

Created: 19/11/08
really not very funny. a little cute plot involving an attorney about to get married to an ILLUMINATI DEBUTANTE? but ends up falling for another girl. lucky for him because he was not sacrificed and eaten by the governors of the federal reserve. he does not convicingly play an la attorney. the actor who goes to court in his place does. he gets to kiss Charlize Theron. i ate a pizza while watching this, which helped me sit through it. although i would much prefer watching dexter, america's new moral compass for justice. did i mention the Jeff Daniels kissed Charlize Theron. it would have been much better movie if jeff daniels was replaced by the borat. and sexier for everyone involved.

Trial and Error DVD

Created: 01/12/10
I saw this movie a while back and loved it. It's very funny. Anyone I ever let borrow the movie - loved it. I needed another copy because everyone that used it pretty much scratched the other. This is a movie you'll want to watch over and over.
