If you're interested in a funny, retrospective look at two lives...check it out. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreThis movie was funny and actually thought provoking. What if you did have to defend your life? There are a few jokes that don't stand up to the test of time (perhaps because I have seen them so many times) but very enjoyable. I often think of different scenes from this movie from time to time when they relate to my own life. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreThis is one of my favorite movies. It is subtle humor that gets funnier every time and makes you think a little about how you live life. The plot is very original and even now my 8 year old loves it. She often talks about the decisions she makes in her life in terms of how would she defend them.

Read MoreAlbert Brooks has successfully manned the bildge pumps of religious dogma's sinking and very wholly (Holy) grail. Be you (alphabetically now) Aboriginal, Agnostic, Aethiest, Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Navajo, Taoist, et al... one truth is clear HUMOR IS UNIVERSAL !!! Dinner and THIS movie? All would argue the foods... yet feast on the universal irony of Defending Your Life. After 3 months serving as a Grand Juror... I must say, "THIS IS THE REAL DEAL" (Lawyers included, unfortunate but necessarily so)!!! LEARN IT, KNOW IT, LIVE IT !!! Well Done Albert Brooks (and probably only the second Meryl Streep role I've ever enjoyed[she's well cast in the role] seriously). Probably should be re-made to included cell phone and vanity mirror drivers to be included in this voyage through transcendental humor. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I love pretty much anything by Mel Brooks. As seen in this movie, he uses comedy in a "Bill Cosby" type way. He doesn't require a lot of swearing, nor does he need to use sex to get a laugh. ... Read MoreI love pretty much anything by Mel Brooks. As seen in this movie, he uses comedy in a "Bill Cosby" type way. He doesn't require a lot of swearing, nor does he need to use sex to get a laugh. Frankly I would suggest this movie to anyone who is a fan of Albert Brooks or loved the movie "Mother" also by him. Meryl Streep plays a cute role and sets up the character for the story line. Definately a classic! Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Kind of corny. Disappointed in Meryl Streep. She's better than this part. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

This movie was slow and tedious. The one-liners had potential, but instead they were forced. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
