I enjoy any of John Grisham's books about the underdog fighting high corporations and winning. I usually read the book first and then compare it to the movie. The movie stays with the plot of the book well and the acting is well done. I like the fact that the actors that usually portray the characters in the books are big name actors with a lot of experience in their craft. Their performances are stellar which makes the film even more fun to watch. Even though I have seen this several times I wanted to added to my collection of DVDs.
July 12, 2008 Terrific film featuring Bahstin favorite Damon fluently adapting southern dialect as a novice lawyer, genuinely interested in helping underdog clientele. DeVito is equally effective as a setup man who can't pass the Bar exam, but is a terrific funnel for future clients.The duet forms a legitimate partnership and away we go with Damon simultaneously defending a dying young man against a corrupt insurance company and a young woman, Danes, who finally puts an end to her wife beating husband.With DeVito doing the legwork, our heroes win both cases, too well in fact. The insurance company declares bankruptcy, no one wins a penny.Yet the family of the leukemia victim finds peace of mind in putting a corrupt firm out of business, while Danes and Damon depart together to contemplate their futures; their lives already deeply disillusioned.One point- the film's title may confuse some- this is not "Rainman" with Dustin Hoffman.However, this movie can stand on its own two feet in any weather, thank you.
January 15, 2008Two actors who can play any part and still do a great job.
Damon and Devito, great combination.
ordering and delivery of DVD
Right on the money.
December 15, 2007Yes, there's Coppolla. And Damon. And De Vito. But the performance to watch is Mary Kay Place. Brilliant. She deserved an Oscar nomination.
December 4, 2007A heart warming story of what life can be like. Danny Devito and Matt Damon are excellent.
