But only one juror (Henry Fonda) wants to take the time to coolly deliberate the case.

Friday, October 28, 2011 About Writing a Daily Blog
It seems all so simple. Writing a paragraph a day. That's the easy part. The challenging part is doing it while doing so many other things I love to do, too. Yes, I do take notes in my Day-Timer.

But Schmidt can't seem to get anything right. En route to the wedding, he shares his life through letters with a Tanzanian boy he's sponsoring for 73 cents a day -- and soon, Schmidt discovers renewed purpose. A bit slow for me.

At first, her otherworldly charms seem to soothe his piggish tendencies, but it doesn't take long for his true colors to return with a vengeance. Jennifer Tilly and Eric Roberts also star.
