FRom the hip it a great comedy because. starts goods gets going faster the hummer is so funny at the first half. starts as a comedy then goes into a drama. tries to go into a drama then goes back to comedy in the second half . I think it should have stayed with the comedy it was the best part . It did all right with the drama it slowed the move right down when it started to go to the drama side then went back to the comedy then back. JUDD nelson did a great job on this movie he really got his teeth into it i really thought he was a lawyer.so did the rest of the cast. i don't think there was a wrong actor in it . i recommend this movie a MUST SEE.
