A slacker layabout sitting on a jury attempts to prolong the trial of a serial killer so he can continue a life of luxury while being sequestered in a hotel.

If you enjoy the comedy stylings of Pauly Shore, you'll find this film a riot. If not, you'll see it for what it really is: Lamentably terrible, and that's a verdict which doesn't need a jury's decision.
