WARNING: SPOILERS!!!
This movie is basically one long public service announcement.....from HELL!!
So, young Jimmy gets charged with manslaughter and his reason for doing so is because of his parents' lack of attention?! And here's the kicker: he's aquitted!! Anyway, whenever he meets new people, he constantly lies about how his parents are "swell" and starts shoving his "award winning" essay down their throats. However, these aren't simple, everyday lies that satisfy us. No, these are ELABORATE lies.
And because of his parents' "lousy" care, Jimmy somehow starts a life of crime, yet he is totally oblivious that it actually IS crime (now I REALLY hate this movie).
Finally, after all his whining and crying, the Judge forgives Jimmy, and warns all parents to pay more attention to their kids. So, what's our moral here? "Any child whose parents are alcoholics will eventually become chronic liars and resort to a life of crime"?! Aw man, if this weren't in MST3K format, this movie would be 10x as painful.
Hey, I have a better moral for this movie: "If the B.S. Fits, You Must Aquitt"!
