Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The Grand Master I highly dislike Pauly Shore as an actor because he is very untalented and highly unfunny. Some people seem to adore his stand up work and think he was groomed to be one of the biggest stars in comedy. Wrong. A majority of his movies are unlikable thanks to his lack of star appeal. Jury Duty is another one of those duds that is easily one to forget.The plot comes across as moronic and the laughs fall flat. What more can I say? Oh and Pauly Shore helps drive the movie into the ground. Not even Stanley Tucci, Tia Carrere, Brian Doyle-Murray, Shelley Winters and Charles Napier can even redeem this rubbish.Easily one of the most forgettable movies out there, and it looks like this is one of many movies out there that has thankfully not surfaced on DVD or Blu-Ray but instead found itself somewhere on the scrapheap.Don't bother.1/10.

elshikh4 This is a movie starring Pauly Shore while his finest hour (or accurately his 15 min of fame!). And it's not complicated to review.Good things : 1_Pauly Shore, doing his thing. And it wasn't a bad thing at all. 2_The script. It's kind of brilliant, being a nice far spoof of 12 Angry Men, giving us small world, nice plot, and hot climax. 3_Tia Carrere; back when she was smoking HOT. Despite how they didn't go and show well all of her capacities (Shore's fantasies are so lame !). 4_The last 10 minutes. They were close to perfect. 5_The innocent feel of it. I mean look at the gags, there is No bad tasting, toilet humor,..etc. It's all plain fun. 6_Moments like messing with the accused in the court, the way how the lead approved his point about guiltlessness, playing the original "S.W.A.T" music while running to Carrere, or Shore's Chihuahua watching TV. 7_The minor parts were played by lovely actors. 8_The song by the end of the movie. 9_I was about putting this in the "bad things" section : Portraying the ones who love and care about environment as lunatic serial killers. The reason I didn't is that I'm one of these people, though I laughed my heart out with Stanley Tucci going bananas over Asbestos! 10_The fact that TV is airing it a lot. I watched 3 times till now.Bad things : 1_Pauly Shore dressed as a whore. Just Yuck !! 2_ Shore's striptease. Just NOOOO! 3_Shore spoofing coldly Al Pacino in (And Justice for All). Wasn't a good move-ito pal-ito. 4_The weakness of the lead's main goal. I couldn't wholly buy how all what he wanted was the petty paycheck and living in a good room ! 5_I don't think that the hotel we watched needed desperately this publicity from the lead. There must have been more powerful reason for giving this deluxe room for him.So 5 bad vs. 10 good. Namely for every bad thing there are 2 good things to keep the sweetness up. Accordingly this is a good movie. Rather an average low budget comedy (to be sadistically objective !). Nothing wrong with light time, and this one provides that for harmless 88 minutes. Though the thing that I hated, wanting to put it in the "very bad things" section, is the way Pauly Shore and his movies were BANNED! I do not know at all how he wasn't forgiven for being himself in 5 movies he made, that's his all cinematic career to date by the way, while for instance Jim Carrey was for horrible disgusting trash he did one after another at his start, at the mid-90s too, such as (Dumb & Dumber), (Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls), (The Cable Guy) and (How the Grinch Stole Christmas) ??? Simply the major studios gave (Carrey) millions, while not giving Shore even a second chance.In the same time Adam Sandler acted as nothing but the same idiot fool for his first 10 movies and he got a career out of it. While Chris Tucker is known as unbearable, he had the opportunity to make Rush Hour 1,2, and 3 ?!! Steve Martin became not funny anymore, nevertheless they made him the new Pink Panther in not one but 2 movies ?!! In fact the list is long, yet with no (Shore) in it ?! If you think "unfair" already then you haven't heard Gene Siskel saying, in 1995, that (Shore) is annoying but not strategically annoying like Jim Carrey (HUH ??!!), or Roger Ebert saying that watching Jury Duty is like hearing long fingernails scratching a piece of glass for long time. Well, Roger, that's exactly what I feel while watching 2001 Space Odyssey, not Jury Duty !The deduction : Not everyone loves Pauly Shore. However, he didn't have much time to develop, be different, or assure that he has good things, as the time some other actors apparently had to do the same. In any case still (Jury Duty) is : A Pauly Shore Classic. Cute unpretentious fun. "Bad" or "so Bad" are only what I call many of its reviews. Plus it's somehow a rare chance to watch a work of a comedian who his career by now has gone with the wind, and what a strange wind that was! Finally, don't feel guilty if you found yourself singing : "Judge-ito have a bite of my burrito, Ato have some of my tomato".

bkoganbing I'm not a hater of Pauly Shore by any means, he can be a very funny guy and I rather liked Biodome which came after this film. But this one really stretched Shore's smart aleck personality way too far.Jury Duty is now something I try to avoid figuring that back in the day I served on three of them at one time or another. And the next time I'm eligible I would be over 70 years old and would get an automatic exemption should I choose. But if you have nothing else to do, your life isn't going anywhere, why not take that magnificent sum of $5.00 a day for service.That's what Shore figures when his mother Shelley Winters and her long time boyfriend Charles Napier get married and he's at loose ends. And wouldn't you know it, he gets on the jury of an accused serial killer, Sean Whalen. Shore however finds a way to make Jury Duty not only profitable, but quite comfortable.Whalen is accused of butchering and dismembering several fast food managers when he's found sleeping at the place their bodies were stashed. If he didn't do it his hopes for justice rest on the shoulders of Pauly Shore a fate I'd not wish on anyone.Pauly gets way too over the top in Jury Duty and you'd better like him if you have any hopes of liking this film. Also I just can't believe that fellow juror Tia Carrere would ever fall for someone like Shore. But that's movie magic for you.Among other places Pauly takes his cues from is that flawed classic 12 Angry Men. When I reviewed that I said that Henry Fonda's actions, one in particular would have been grounds for a mistrial. Ironically because of what Shore does, Judge Abe Vigoda does declare a mistrial.Justice does get served in a highly unusual manner. If that pleases you by all means see Jury Duty. Otherwise people who are not Pauly Shore's fans will have a hard time with this film.

phillafella 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
