Francis Ford Coppola directs and scripts an exciting, star-packed adaptation of John Grisham's novel about an idealistic young attorney who takes on the case of a lifetime. Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting) plays Rudy Baylor, a rookie lawyer in over his head on a high-profile case. Opposing him: an army of seasoned legal sharks (led by Jon Voight). On Rudy's side: Deck Shifflet (Danny DeVito), a feisty "paralawyer" who specializes in flunking the bar exam. Rudy's chances are slim to none- until he uncovers a trail of corruption that might lead to the one thing that could win his case: the truth.

Summary: The Rainmaker
Comment: I enjoy any of John Grisham's books about the underdog fighting high corporations and winning. I usually read the book first and then compare it to the movie. The movie stays with the plot of the book well and the acting is well done. I like the fact that the actors that usually portray the characters in the books are big name actors with a lot of experience in their craft. Their performances are stellar which makes the film even more fun to watch. Even though I have seen this several times I wanted to added to my collection of DVDs.

Summary: SOUTHERN FRIED JUSTICE
Comment: Terrific film featuring Bahstin favorite Damon fluently adapting southern dialect as a novice lawyer, genuinely interested in helping underdog clientele. DeVito is equally effective as a setup man who can't pass the Bar exam, but is a terrific funnel for future clients.The duet forms a legitimate partnership and away we go with Damon simultaneously defending a dying young man against a corrupt insurance company and a young woman, Danes, who finally puts an end to her wife beating husband.With DeVito doing the legwork, our heroes win both cases, too well in fact. The insurance company declares bankruptcy, no one wins a penny.Yet the family of the leukemia victim finds peace of mind in putting a corrupt firm out of business, while Danes and Damon depart together to contemplate their futures; their lives already deeply disillusioned.One point- the film's title may confuse some- this is not "Rainman" with Dustin Hoffman.However, this movie can stand on its own two feet in any weather, thank you.

Summary: Great Courtroom Drama
Comment: Yes, there's Coppolla. And Damon. And De Vito. But the performance to watch is Mary Kay Place. Brilliant. She deserved an Oscar nomination.
