Jury Duty: The Comedy

1990 · 94 min

A breezy, silly courtroom comedy where a dull trial turns into a media circus and the jurors cut loose.

Directed by
Michael Schultz
Genres
Comedy, Tv movie
Tagline
This trial is the scandal of the century... and so is the jury.
Overview
Mild and meek accountant Sanford Lagelfost has been charged with embezzling $3 million dollars from Trout Industries. A decidedly mixed bag of jurors are chosen to serve on the case, including Eddie, a waiter; Rita, a high-priced call girl; Phil, a high-powered businessman; and Abby, a rabble rousing ex-hippie. When the star witness, the voluptuous Hope Hathaway, takes the stand, she startles everyone with her stories of Sanford's Lothario-esque conquests. Suddenly, the unassuming Sanford is a celebrity heartthrob and he finds himself in headlines and gossip columns across the country. Due to the case's growing notoriety, the judge sequesters the jury. And things start to get wild...
