  • Desert Island Disc Choice

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I have worn out my VHS copy of this film and sadly I had to give it a decent burial, after long and faithful service.

    The 3 main stars excelled themselves in this witty, well-paced story. Mr Pesci and Mr Gwynne are well-known to me, but Miss Tomei was a delightful discovery. I am not in the least surprised that she waltzed off with the award for Best Supporting Actress.

    The superb script, which was sharp, pithy and funny, was excellently delivered by all. Indeed, every one of the characters was drawn with meticullous and exquisite care, and each actor played his/her part to perfection.

    There is not one thing about this film which disappoints me. It has been, since my first viewing, and remains after several score of watchings, one of my personal favourites - one I would want to take onto that desert island which mysteriously has a DVD player and the necessary electricity in place.

    Enjoyable yarn, well acted and a riveting courtroom finale. One of the best light-hearted comedies, showcasing Joe Pesci's comic range

    The writing in this film is excellent, one of the best scripts I know, and the actors' performances do the writing justice.

    It is a delightful film.

  • Extremely boring and poor comedy timing.....

    Rated - 2.5 stars  
    By LWong (36 reviews) , 17 Dec 2011
    I really don't understand the rave reviews this film is receiving. The first half of the movie was painfully boring and at times, contrived. The comedy was bordering on slap stick-ish and Marisa Tomei's widely praised performance was carricatured and annoying in my opinion. I have seen Tomei in better movies (Wrestler). I find the characters tend to keep the audience holding their breath for too long such that when the punchline came, the audience were too tired to appreciate it.

    Maybe the fact that I am not an American explains my lack of appreciation for this movie. I guess this movie is better appreciated in a litigious society like America and the depiction of Yankees vs. Southerners is closer to heart.

    Not for the international audience unfortunately.

    My Cousin Vinny ah my god a classic. I love it it's written by a comedy genius. My title is my favourate line from the movie when Vinny's in court talking to a man. 'Are you sure you could see through this window?'
