Like Bridget Jones, the heroine goes to a regular party in fancy dress - maybe the writers of this had read the book? (The films came out pretty simultaneously.) We needed bland enjoyment to wash away A Perfect Couple.
It's not really very well written but fun. Holland Tayor is the stern professor, Ali Larter the accused and Oz Perkins the tall dork.
The music's by Rolfe Kent. Overall, it's very packaged.
It's reliable, like a favourite T-shirt. Reece is impossible to dislike and Luke provides the soothing tone of a Wilson.
Amanda Brown write the original novel based on her own experiences at Stamford Law (from which she never graduated) published - when? Same year? (Difficult to establish.) Almost all the reviewers on goodreads.com say the film is much better. It was screenwritten by Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith who had written 10 Things I Hate About You.

Red, White and Blonde: Eve Ahlert, Dennis Drake and Kate Kondell wrote Pink's assault on Washington to save dog's mother (Bruiser is well played by Moondoggie). New cast includes Sally Field, Regina King, Bruce McGill, Dana Ivey, Mary Lynn Rajskub and Bob Newhart, with fleeting appearance from Octavia Spencer.
Despite the fact it becomes increasingly silly in the last third, it's good fun overall, and featuring winning performances from Reece Witherspoon, Moonie and Sally Field. Music's by Rolfe Kent again. Considering its heart is in the right place it suffers from terrible online reviews such as 'I'd rather staple my eyelids shut', written, no doubt, by someone in the first grade.

Even better shot than the original: Elliot Davis going very old school with his back lighting making the girls' hair look 1940s. He also shot I Am Sam, Out of Sight, The Birth of a Nation, White Oleander and Lawn Dogs.
Not sure I'd get on quite so well with it sober, but there you go.
