Rating: - Strictly for undergraduates and lawyers
Some intelligent youngsters study law. Not just anywhere, no, but in Harvard!! This movie tells a coming of age story that made me feel rather uncomfortable. The reason: bright kids are depicted as snooty and the same time impressionable. Their being undergraduates is a stage they are going through, but the thought about where they were headed made my hairs stand on end. They do not seem to have a shred of idealism left at the start (could be a reason to study law, theoretically) and it does not ... Read More
Rating: - Almost accurate...but
This is a great movie, and gives a realistic portrayal about life in law school. It touches on everything: the pressure to succeed; what students you can trust and what others to run like hell from; and, of course, the professor everyone fears.

Rating: - Paper Chase - movie
The movie was good, but not as good as the series. I can't wait until the show comes out on DVD
Rating: - Unbox problem! ???
I couldn't stop and restart, or fast forward, or drag the slider ahead with this Unbox version. Other Unbox movies/TV shows on my PC were okay doing this. It would hang and I would need to drag the slider to the beginning. Pretty much the same with using Windows Media Player (which Unbox is based on) to play directly.
Did you know the Unbox people can reach out and delete your files, rename them, and presumably retrieve copies of logs?
Rating: - its really about chasing little pieces of paper not the professors
You overachievers- chasing papers that will instantiate you. Its an endless cycle but they dont mean anything. Thats what this film is about. Not professors, not kingsfield, not the love interest and not even harvard. Marriage papers, diplomas, grades are all meaningless papers that when you know you can have them, and know how to achieve them, suddenly dont mean anything. One of the best films ever
