Negative Positive
Title: Amaturish
Review: This is a story of a poor, struggling lawyer who takes on a case that's impossible to win and pays no money. He wins. Fame and fortune follow. This story has been done over and over and been done better. The opening court scene is a ploy to set up animosity between attorney Ben Kincaid and the prosecutor, his former friend, and is just plain silly. There are attempts to bolster the main plot with side issues...Kincaid's sister unexpectedly leaves her baby with him...his mother shows up...his ex-brother-in-law is tracking a child molester. The main story line, which was mildly interesting, could have been expanded and stood on it's own. As it was, all the little side stories only detract from the main plot and weaken an otherwise good idea for a story.
