Marisa Tomei on the witness stand is one of my favorite bits of acting I’ve watched this year and once you see it it’s immediately obvious why she won the Oscar for best supporting actress for this performance.

I’m a man who is very content with his gender identity, but I must admit there’s part of me that wants nothing more than to literally just be Marisa Tomei in this movie and wear all those delightful leather jackets and backless catsuits while talking in that New York…

9/10 watching this movie when I was younger is one of my core memories. I know I probably shouldn’t have been watching it in the first place but my parents wanted to make sure I was cultured! I’m obsessed with their accents and everything about their relationship. This movie is 100% the reason I…

My Cousin Vinny

Showed up because of Marisa Tomei but Joe Pecci really brought the film home. It was fun to watch Gambini argue throughout the movie. It was also especially fun watching him and his lady’s exchanges through the movie. Marisa Tomei did a fantastic job with her character

My Cousin Vinny is a movie that meanders along going nowhere in particular, and then lightning strikes. I didn't get much involved in it, and yet individual moments and some of the performances were very funny. It's the kind of movie home video was invented for: Not worth the trip to the theater, but slam it into the VCR and you get your rental's worth.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

My Cousin Vinny is easily the most inventive and enjoyable American film farce in a long time, even during those extended patches when it seems to be marking time or when it continues with a running gag that can't stay the distance. The film has a secure and sophisticated sense of what makes farce so delicious.
