Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of fans of a good courtroom showdown and people who need a good giggle. The best scenes are battles fought with words. Same wavelength as Chicago or Secretary.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.

- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
She's new in chambers, and he's a troublemaker. But what 'is' the true status of the old lady's wartime marriage, and can the two young legal minds find the answer?
