DVD Reviews of My Cousin Vinny
DVD Review: my cousin Vinny
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion this movie should have been an academy award winner for acting as well as story line...Pesci and Tomei were sensational and the judge as well even the bit actors did well so what happened with the awards???DVD Review: Lawyers Rock!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie! Funny, entertaining, with a small lesson in the art of merging divergent cultures. Had seen it before, but wanted my own copy. Thanks!DVD Review: My Cousin Vinny
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is as hilarious the 15th time I watched it as the very first time I watched it. A great movie to pull you right out of the dumps!DVD Review: 3 stars out of 4
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bottom Line:
The laughs drop off a bit after the first hour, but the courtroom scenes are inventive and funny and the movie rarely failed to put a smile on my face; it may be a bit too long, but it's still a movie I have little difficulty recommending.
DVD Review: Great show, but probably not for "youts" (er...youths)
Summary: 4 Stars
Pesci and Tomei turn in top-notch performances in this fish-out-of-water tale of two dazzling Brooklynites that travel to the deep south in an effort to save two young men from being convicted for a murder they did not commit.
Pesci's character's unorthodox courtroom style and the edgy performance turned in by his auto-wise fiance (Tomei) sets a small town on its ear. I also greatly enjoyed seeing Fred Gwynne (perhaps best known for his work as Herman Munster) as the judge.
The humor is rich, the story is engaging, and, if you haven't seen this movie before, the plot contains enough twists to keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next.
This is a great show that you will be glad you watched. (Be advised, though, that this review is based on a content edited version of this movie.)
Description of My Cousin Vinny
Two carefree pals (Ralph Macchio and Mitchell Whitfield) traveling through Alabama are mistakenly arrested, and charged with murder. Fortunately, one of them has a cousin who's a lawyer - Vincent Gambini (Joe Pesci, Lethal Weapon 3, Home Alone), a former auto mechanic from Brooklyn who just passed his bar exam after his sixth try. Vinny's never been in court - or in Alabama - and when he arrives with his leather-clad girlfriend (Marisa Tomei in her Oscar? winning Supporting Actress performance), to try his first case, it's a real shock - for him and the Deep South!When two Italian-American boys from New York are falsely accused of murder in a small Alabama town, they call for a lawyer--but the only lawyer they know is their cousin Vinny (Joe Pesci), who made six attempts before he passed his bar exam. My Cousin Vinny is a classic fish-out-of-water comedy; the flimsy plot about clearing the two boys and solving the murder is just a hook to support a lot of culture-clash humor. Thanks to the strong cast of character actors like Fred Gwynne, Austin Pendleton, and Lane Smith, it's pretty funny--even old-hat jokes about Brooklyn versus Southern accents come to life. Pesci has played a few too many schticky characters, but this time it works. There's just enough humanity in his caricature to make Vinny likable and entertaining. When the movie was released, there was controversy about whether Marisa Tomei, playing Vinny's big-haired and black-leather-wearing fianc?e, deserved to win the best supporting actress Oscar (she beat out Judy Davis, Joan Plowright, Miranda Richardson, and Vanessa Redgrave); but seeing her performance on its own, it's a comic marvel and worthy of honor. --Bret Fetzer
