"My Cousin Vinny" is not really a well known film but is worth watching out for. A very funny Joe Pesci has the time of his life in the lead role with excellent support from Marisa Tomei in an Oscar winning performance as his girl friend. This film is a complete change of pace for Pesci after his tough guy gangster roles in films such as "Goodfellas" and "Casino". Fred Gwynne was outstanding as Judge Haller in a well written role and his scenes in the courtroom with Joe Pesci were hilarious.
Favourite lines:
Mitchell Whitfield to Ralph Macchio: "Ridiculous, all this over a can of tuna!".
Fred Gwynne to Joe Pesci: "Once again the communication process is broken down".
Pesci to Gwynne: "You were serious about that?".
Pesci (to Marisa Tomei): "Thank you Miss Vito. No more questions. Thank you very, very much. You've been a lovely, lovely witness".
Directed by Jonathan Lynn and expertly acted this is one of the most delightful and funny courtroom comedies you will see in a long time. Highly recommended.
