Nancy Grace Movies
Prosecutor-turned-television pundit Nancy Grace graduated from her position in the Georgia District Attorney's Office to an on-air assignment when CourtTV's Steven Brill tapped her to co-emcee a legal discussion series with well-known attorney Johnnie Cochran; she subsequently added to this a tenure hosting her own legal analysis/discussion program as a component of CNN's Headline News. Grace made one of her few film appearances as an interviewee in the documentary A Lawyer Walks Into a Bar... (2007). ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
A hard-drinking lush finds himself thrust into superhero mode in director Peter Berg's unconventional look at the private life of a crime-fighter. Will Smith stars as the embittered do-gooder whose lifestyle is more akin to a rock star than a role model, and who has grown as disillusioned with his once-admiring public as they have of him. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Writer-director Eric Chaikin's feature-length documentary A Lawyer Walks Into A Bar. . . offers a witty, seriocomic look at myriad aspects of the American legal process and judicial system. It hones in on six individuals, all prospective attorneys at the time of the film's production, and follows them through trials and travails as they approach and take the formidable bar. Chaikin then uses the subjects' stories as springboards to broader digressions on U.S. litigation. The film features a myriad of celebrity guest appearances, from both well-respected attorneys and entertainers. Participants include: attorneys Alan Dershowitz, Mark Lanier and Joe Jamail; comics Eddie Griffin and Michael Ian Black; TV commentators John Stossel and Nancy Grace, and many others. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
