Twelve Angry Men,
One Angry Man is the court-room dram-edy starring Jackie Mason as himself.
Weeks before the premier of Jackie Mason's latest Broadway show, Jackie has been called to jury duty. Just like everyone else, he is reluctant to serve; naturally, he employs the talents of his lawyer, Raoul Felder, to help relieve him of his civic duty. During the selection process, Jackie is questioned by the prosecution and the defense. Jackie is so offended by the defense's questions, he talks his way right onto the jury. The jury is set: people from all walks of life: the Arabic foreman (Nicholas Viselli), an Italian sleaze-ball (Tony Darrow), a gay gossip columnist (Mo Mandel), a transvestite (Frank Anthony Polito), a country music singer (Brandon Kinney), a 9/11 rescue worker (Rolando Millet), a self-hating Jew (Marty McDonough), a psychologist (Paul Borghese), a feminist (Pamela Sabaugh), a model (Stacey Sipowicz), a teacher (Mike Newman), and of course, Jackie Mason.
On trial for murdering a decorated police veteran is Yusef (Justin P. Nardecchia), an Arabic teenager. The judge (Mark Levin) instructs the jury not to hurry their decision and also not to be harassed by Jackie. The jury is ushered into their deliberating room by the Bailiff (Dick Capri) where they begin their process.
Inside the jury room Jackie creates utter chaos and takes it upon himself to convince the otherwise "not guilty" leaning jury that Yusef is guilty. The characters share stories with one another about their lives and experiences, tempers flare, emotions run rampant, and Jackie realizes he may have made a mistake. Jackie, being soft-hearted as he is, takes responsibility and tries re-convincing everyone that Yusef is innocent. This is a must-see DVD for all comedy lovers and Jackie Mason fans.
