I already knew that Matthew Broderick is one of the finest actors. But I was a bit wary of Reese Witherspoon. I had the idea that she was some kind of South Belle using her looks to get by. Boy, was I ever wrong!
The film is not just a comedy, but a drama, and a social commentary. The plot is so incredible that sounds true. All the characters are developed enough so they do not look like cartoons. And here is where the young Reese shows her talent. It is almost impossible not to play it like a caricature, but she does!
In the end, you feel that you have met most of the people depicted in the movie. The only part that was a bit difficult to believe was the two votes still being in the basket, so others could find them. But even that can be explained by a few psycho-analysts.
Fine movie, that will give entertainment, enjoyment, and a good conversation after viewing it. I would give it an 8/10.
