Jury Duty; The Comedy poster

Released in 1990, Jury Duty; The Comedy is a comedy and tv movie film directed by Michael Schultz, running about 94 minutes. “This trial is the scandal of the century... and so is the jury.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Mild and meek accountant Sanford Lagelfost has been charged with embezzling $3 million dollars from Trout Industries. A decidedly mixed bag of jurors are chosen to serve on the case, including Eddie, a waiter; Rita, a high-priced call girl; Phil, a high-powered businessman; and Abby, a rabble rousing ex-hippie. When the star witness, the voluptuous Hope Hathaway, takes the stand, she startles everyone with her stories of Sanford's Lothario-esque conquests. Suddenly, the unassuming Sanford is a celebrity heartthrob and he finds himself in headlines and gossip columns across the country. Due to the case's growing notoriety, the judge sequesters the jury. And things start to get wild...

Who’s in it. Jury Duty; The Comedy stars Mädchen Amick as Miss Doddsworth, Stephen Baldwin as Carlucci, Mark Blankfield as Ted Watkins and Barbara Bosson as Brattner, among others.
