Overview: Pauly Shore stars in a riotous comedy of disorder in the court about a jobless freeloader who gets appointed to a sensational murder trial and will stop at nothing to keep deliberations going as long as possible. Tia Carrere, Shelly Winters and Abe Vigoda co-star.

Blu-ray Verdict: There is a scene early on in 'Jury Duty' when Pauly Shore stands on a bus and imitates a town tour guide.

It is obvious that this scene was written to showcase Pauly Shore's comedic talents, however, he makes noises and is loud and generally obnoxious and unfunny.

Ergo, 'Jury Duty' is the point where Pauly Shore officially abused his stay in movies! After this movie, he would forever be sanctioned to the lunch table in the corner with the smelly kid, Carrot Top and the Noid from the Dominoes commercials!

But not until he showed the world his versatility in 'Bio-Dome,' of course!

Simply put, even on second blush today via this new Blu-ray, 'Jury Duty' is bad. Not bad like 'In the Army Now,' but darn close! There is little originality to the script, no amusing characters and about four funny lines!

That said, I did enjoy the scene where the witnesses from restaurants give testimonies in their respective fast food uniforms. There isn't much else here. It just isn't funny, sorry.

Shore also lacks the wit his idiotic leading men contemporaries like Adam Sandler and Chris Farley showed in the '90s. These were all, more or less, bad versions of Steve Martin's wonderful 'Jerk' character.

All Shore shows in this movie is that he has the talent to bug you!

Of course, not all the blame can be put on his shoulders. He has no script to work with. Nothing. I don't know why Stanley Tucci thought this movie would be good for him and or how the studio blackmailed him into being in it, in truth!

In closing, I remembered both 'Encino Man' and 'Son In Law' were kind of funny in a stupid way, whereas 'Jury Duty' is just plain stupid in a very unfunny way!

I mean, to my mind, Shore's dog, a long-haired chihuahua, does a better job at being funny - as well as carrying the movie! Oh, and have fun with the continual spot a celebrity cameos that pop up through the movie! This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs.
