Movie Reviews of Judge Judy: Second to None
Movie Review: Judy At Her Finest
Summary: 5 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised at how great this DVD is. The format (both menus and also presentation of each case)
is great as well. The first case - a very tame one where a teenaged girl gets stood up by a date on prom night and wants reimbursement for the money she laid out for the dress - is a rather quiet preface to what's ahead.
A slimy dog breeder who sells mixed breeds while trying to pass them for pedigrees; and 18 year old bully who
has supposedly changed his ways now, but got stabbed in the heart and almost died while beating up a bystander who told him he was a wimp; a guy who walked a young mother home one night and got beat up by her boyfriend (check out how BRAIN DEAD the girl is...and Judy says "You're having a brain trauma!" Then later when Judy asks who her child lives with now, she can't even answer the question!!) Judy really socks it to the litigants, taking them fully to task and calling their trashy behavior for what it really is.
Amidst the rather routine cases, there are a couple interesting other ones - the one where a lady who just bought a new house (in Alabama or someplace hee-haw) walked in on a construction worker having sex with a lonely hooker. Even Judy's bailiff, Officer Byrd, gets in on the action here - after the construction worker relays his LAME recount of the incident, Judy asks Byrd what he thinks. Byrd: "I thought he was gonna make somethin' up!" Funny stuff. Another thought-provoking one is two 19 year old girls from cow-town Wisconsin, one of whom got beat up by a pack of lowlife girls at a gas station! She tries to blame it on the other girl, saying that it was a pre-arranged attack.
The granddaddy case of the DVD, and surely one of the best to air on Judge Judy, is Davenport vs. Filkins.
Davenport bought two cell phones from Filkins on ebay...but the ad was for two "pictures of cell phones, not actual phones." Filkins is white trash personified, proudly admitting that she has no job (her husband works and she rears the kids) and if she can make a living off others who don't read the fine print, then she's not doing anything wrong. Judy screams at her, perfectly, "YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!!! And why you chose to come here and make a fool out of yourself in front of 10 million people is beyond me!"
Judge Judith Sheindlin has no equal. She's been in the business forever, has seen it all, and thankfully,
she had the natural talent enough to make a very long-running prime-time TV show out of it.
When she came on the air in 1996, I personally rejoiced. All the other TV judges are so, so weak
compared to Judy. She tells it like it is, and she comprehends things so fast that she almost doesn't
need to think about them. Even if her "You're an idiot!!"'s don't result in the litigant changing their
ways, it'll be on their consciences forever. Now, her record might not be perfect - but her 98-99% is pretty damn good. As Judy says herself, "I help people put a period on [their cases]. Life is too short; I give people a lesson and then they can move on."
