12 Angry Men (1997)
This remake surely misses the point completely?
12 Angry Men (1957) is a truly great film bt most people's standards. One of the stunning aspects of the film is that a jury of 12 white men found the defendant (who is not white) not guilty even though, at first glance, he's guilty.
in this remake, has the number of people on the jury who are white been reduced out of some idea of political correctness?
the change to the jury make-up seems to miss the point of the original, doesn't it?

if you like watching sincerity so contrived it's appalling in its insincerity, 'fly on the wall' segments about the comedy process so contrived they're hard to watch and hollywood celebrities generally patting each other on the back to extreme, don't hesitate to rent this - you'll love it.
i think even the most devoted Bruce Vilanch fan will be made nauseous by the awful song that plays out over the closing credits.
Get Bruce? get lost...
