Movie Reviews of Boston Legal: Season Four
Movie Review: Boston Legal - DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Love, love, love Boston Legal. I just wish that it could go on forever!Movie Review: Excellent comedy-drama, a synthesis of silliness and brilliance
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, I take back everything I said about the previous season -- this one rocks! The main characters are brought into sharper relief with some better stories that revolve around better things than plastic love dolls and the like. The interplay between the new female staff (Katie, Lorraine, Whitney) is most intriguing. Denny Crane gets trapped in one ridiculous situation after another and Jerry Espenson shows us ever deeper dimensions of his neurotic brilliance, but most assuredly we are laughing with them and not at them. Yes, you don't have to be young and/or body beautiful to have a good time on this show, and get as much action as your heart desires (although sometimes it doesn't hurt, heh heh).
All the unmitigated pomposity that permeates our most revered cultural institutions is mercilessly skewered here, and even the United States Supreme Court cannot escape! Perhaps my one criticism is that we don't always get the most satisfactory explanation as to how Denny and Alan manage to win some of the more preposterous cases (I mean, sometimes it seems just a bit too easy) and, in the event that they were to actually lose, would they be moping rather than celebrating at the closing scene? Hold on-- come to think of it, in one case, the judge became so annoyed by an apparently frivolous lawsuit that he had them both locked up in a jail cell!
I think this show really begins to hit its stride here in terms of good stories and character development, and feel most regretful that it was eventually cancelled!
Movie Review: Some more cast members are gone
Summary: 4 Stars
This season would hqve gotten 5 stars if (AGAIN) they had not replaced some of the incredibly talented cast after last season. This is somewhat incredible because otherwise everything is close to perfection in Boston Legal. What can I say, otherwise than at the start now they have gotten rid of Mark Valley, Julie Bowen, Rene Auberjonois, and Constance Zimmer. While the first three had been on for a while and were very valuable secondary characters, Constance Zimmer was spectacular in Season 3. This is simply not logical. Also the new secondary cast members are not up to the same quality. These changes were also a problem with Ally McBeal back in the day where cast members also disappeared. Anyway, otherwise the writing and acting is of course superb. William Shatner is in top form as Denny Crane and the show is areally about him and this alone makes it worth your while. Candice Bergen is also splendid and the main cast members do provide with unique performances and entertainment that makes this worth your while.Movie Review: THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to admit I love this show in spite of itself! While nominated for several Emmys in the drama category, this show is really a comedy with some dramatic diversions. How can anyone take Alan, Denny, Jerry or Clarence seriously? But what a cast...even with Henry Gibson and Shelley Berman as judges! Credit David Kelley with his controversial case matters, everything from cesession to female priests to cockfighting. And yes, our team always wins! But who cares? The cast is impeccable and the show nis just fun to watch! Long live Denny Crane!Movie Review: Another good season
Summary: 4 Stars
...but the characters and the plots are starting to slug along. I like the addition of John Larroquette, but after a two episodes it was clear that Mr. Kelley didn't have anywhere really to go with the character. I continue to be amazed that Brad is even a part of this crew-we've only seen him in court maybe twice. Shatner, Spader and Bergen are the true gems at this law firm. Though the cases are often left-wing sermons, it's still a good show.
