It's a fairly good film of fits and starts.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 25, 2021

The courtroom shenanigans have absolutely no basis in reality, and while they're occasionally entertaining, they're mostly as overdone and tasteless as the action in Clark's other films.

It's such an embarrassingly lame comedy that you could easily imagine some mischievous attorney filing suit -- for defamation of the entire profession.

Stormy is the richest and most adult character Judd Nelson has played. And Nelson gives the welcome impression that he is growing up and coming to terms with things.

"From the Hip" has its heart in the wrong place. That it even has a heart is part of the problem. This picture needs to be considerably more ruthless than it is.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Sep 25, 2021

Director/co-writer Clark probably could make an offensive film on almost any subject. This time the subject is the legal system.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 25, 2021

Nelson, who has never been one of my favorite actors, seems to be having the time of his career.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 25, 2021

A trial, for sure.

Hold them for contempt of audience.

I don't know much about the law, but I know enough to assure you that "From the Hip" is completely implausible from beginning to end.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

... littered with the sort of puerile sex jokes that are Clark's stock in trade.
