  This is an absolute must see!! Like the other reviewer mentioned, i saw this movie even before Reese Witherspoon was known. When i first saw this movie it was towards the middle and didn't quite know what i was watching. i would describe the movie to people and started asking around "what was the name of the movie" and noone knew. i kept searching the television to see when it would come back on and what could possibly be the name of the movie and nothing. till i asked someone who was a movie guru and then i finally had a chance to watch this movie from beginning to end. It was so hilarious!! especially when they were in the court room. This was truly her role in this movie....

  I saw this movie before Reese Witherspoon was really known. She played the part so well that I had to know who she was. She proved herself well in this one and I'm horrible to remember who played in what movie. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next.
