Night of the Lawyers (1997) User Reviews

Strange and boring

[rmarkd · 3/10 · 5 December 2000]

I wanted to see this movie after seeing the title, but heard nothing about it. The movie is strange, low budgeted, jumpy and unfocused. It seems like they were thinking "Okay, we got to this point, what can we do next?" then doing whatever comes to mind, not bothering to take a step back and look at the whole deal.

Or, I could have just missed the point totally.

one of the best films ever about lawyers

A hilarious roller coaster ride all at the expense of those nasty lawyers. Great acting, casting, art direction, a fabulous soundtrack, you never know which way this movie is going to go but it always goes wild and funny. There are lots of movie references visually and stylistically. For example, the bad lawyer Moriarity uses a push button to send his enemies to the dungeon, this is exactly like the device used in Austin Powers except that this movie was made two years before Austin Powers! This is lots of fun and wacky. Crisp, rich photography, doesn't look low budget at all, very polished and professional looking. I loved this movie!

The best comedy about lawyers ever!

Absolutely wild comedy about lawyers and why we love to hate them. All tongue in cheek and great fun. Good acting, great photography, well-written, just a fun, entertaining comedy, when you just want to laugh at all the bad lawyers. Lawyers with guns, oh my! I'm shocked, shocked to see that.
