Remember next time this happens
7 October 2003 | by (Mt Barker, South Australia) – See all my reviews

The writer was quite kind to the media; they are usually much, much worse. The film did portray well the horrid things that can happen when the media go to work. Excellent acting by nearly all involved. It's a morality play -- about the nasty media, not about the poor nominee who lost her jury duty notice!
