OK, starting off we all knew that this wasn't going to be a masterpiece. In general I do "sympathise" / laugh with Pauley Shore, however this " try-to -be-funny-remake-of-12-angry-men" just left me disturbed. Not only do they totally disregard the entire judicial system on how they choose jury, as if Pauley can choose the trial he wishes to be on... yeah whatever... but during the process we are to believe that the entire governmental state is deceived by a guy bribing a hotel to get a better room. In any case, it's possible I took this more to heart due to the fact that my Dad was a lawyer.... but I added an extra star due to the dog.

First of I want to point out that I like Pauley Shore and have enjoyed watching other comedy movies that he starred in and but I just didn't like Jury Duty and didn't find the humor to be that funny and it was kind of boring and a let down compared to Bio-Dome and other Pauley Shore movies! I had bought this movie on video before I watched it because since I had liked his other movies I assumed I would also like this but I didn't like it and I learned a lesson that I should watch a movie first before I buy it! This movie just didn't appeal to me at all! I would recommend people rent this before buying or try to watch it on TV first!

It is a bad movie that gives wrong idea out to the public. There is no way that wasting taxpayer's money can be made to look funny. The guy is healthy educated guy and living on his parents money. And then he decides to live off tax payers' money like a parasite. That certainly does not count as funny. Being a jury is a serious business. Making a comedy is a serious business. Unfortunately, the movie maker seems to care for neither. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. It is a waste of time.The actors did a fairly fine job in the given scope. Story and direction failed the movie.

JURY DUTY is exactly what you would expect from Pauly Shore: obnoxious, silly and ridiculous. Here, Shore plays a jobless boy who decides he can get himself a free hotel room by posing as a juror for a murder trial. Usually, I give movies what they deserve, but since Shore never made a good movie, I have to give him credit. I mean, here is another guy whose movies were successful at the box office, but had little or nothing to show for it. If you are a fan of Pauly, I doubt you will be disappointed. Others beware, for JURY DUTY will be a real trial to sit through.1 out of 5
