Jury Duty (1995)
7/10
Light comedy with its moments
31 March 2019
A case study of a troll before trolling was invented. Pauly Shore plays a slacker who has the responsibility of jury duty. Hilarity ensues.

The best part for me is that there's a parallel with what is called "fake news" today. What you see nowadays is conspiracy theorists skepticism of a governments official narrative. When this skepticism is repeated with conviction eventually other people will start becoming skeptics too. This movie has some moments that will make you think about this topic.

It's hits and misses. Some parts were just too silly (especially towards the end) but it also had memorable moments with Tommy weaseling his way in and out of situations. Trying to bend social norms with implicit social commentary. It's a light comedy with its moments.
