Review of My Cousin Vinny (1992) by Eric C — 04 Sep 2009
"Now imagine your a deer, your walking by a brook and you put your little deer lips to the water, than BAM!!! a fuvking bullet smash open your skull, your brains littered all over the ground. Now tell me, would you give a fuck what kind of pants, the son of a bitch who shot you was wearing?".
Doesn't sound funny, well listen to Marisa Tomei say it, its fucking hilarious. And its only a part of the performance that won her an Academy Award for Best Suporting Actress. But if that doesn't get you to want to watch this classic comedy, than maybe Joe Pesci will.
I love this film, no matter how many times it comes on, even on cut television I still watch it. The chemistry between Pesci and Tomei is amazing and it works at a level that makes you wish the film was a bit longer. Sadly this was Fred Gwynn's(Herman Munster in The Munsters) last performance, he died not too long before this film's release.
The story is simple, Vinny's cousin and friend are mistaken for two killers in a small town because of a similar car was seen at the sight of the same convienance store they were at. Now Vinny a inexperience fresh out of law school wiseass must find a way to solve the case before the judge finds out who he is.
The comedy is fresh, the acting is well done and the direction keeps you watching.
5 out of 5, what else can I say.
