Not as bad as the title or premise might indicate, Spring Break Lawyer has enough bright humor -- with dozens of scattershot one-liners, comic asides, and fantasy bits -- to make 86 minutes seem like far less. The find here is Brad Raider, who is an appealing, slick combination of Hugh Grant and Ben Stiller. His high-caliber charisma makes up for leading lady Busy Philipps' self-conscious dependence on her pout to convey emotion. The production values are top-notch, the nonstop rock music score works well to speed things along, and the gross-out mayhem is kept to a minimum, although there are plenty of body fluid (and gas) jokes throughout. Consider it a live action cartoon and you'll enjoy the proceedings. Look for cult favorite Adrienne Barbeau as Judge Stern.
