For those of us who've actually passed the California Bar Exam, this was a very clear picture of the nightmare that is the California Bar Exam. I really found myself rooting for Don. Keep trying....

If you are thinking about law school, in law school, or are getting ready to take the bar you HAVE to see this movie. See how six people go to the edge of hell and back getting ready to take the biggest exam of thier lives. The movie goes from hilarious to nervousness and every other emotion a human being can experience. You have to see this movie.

2008.05.11 - It's both funny and informative. There were a couple of people that I was hoping would pass the California Bar, and there were a couple I hoped wouldn't pass it. My favorite parts were the guest commentaries.
