Underrated. Lots of good lines and courtroom scenes. Also, Joe Pesci and Marissa Tomei's on-screen chemistry is great.

I understand it's perfectly acceptable to mock and stereotype the South but, to be fair, the North gave us Joe Pesci. So there.

Pesci was fresh off Goodfellas in this tailor made role as an inexperienced middle aged lawyer who must defend his cousin against false murder charges. He isn't flexing his acting muscle, but he is effortlessly charming and proves that he is more than capable of being a leading man. Tomei is equally strong as his sassy, sexy and street smart girlfriend with surprising talents. It's thoroughly predictable, but it's fun watching Pesci slowly win over a skeptical judge played memorably by Gwynne.

So maybe this light-weight little picture works slightly better as a courtroom drama than as a comedy, but either way it's the game performances that sell it.

A funny tale of two yutes that get... "Excuse me, two whats?" Two yutes! "What is a yute?" Come on, this is a classic. So much charisma, so much comedy, so little time. This is just about as good as it can get. So, who wants grits?

I love this movie with a passion. it's a comedy that doesn't try to be a comedy as we know it today. and that's why it works so well. (of course, when you're starring Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei, you better not be trying to make a comedy!) but in all honesty, those 2 actors are what make the film. and if f-bombs spoken through a Brooklyn accent pleasure your eardrums then this is the movie for you.

Likable understated Deep South courtroom comedy that is fairly light on traditional comedic punchlines but has character and charm. Slow start but strong second half with accurate courtroom procedure. Pesci is great but Fred Gwynne actually stood out to me the most. Poor Ralph Macchio is mostly just an extra for the last hour though!

It's like 12 angry men but in this case just one angry italian. ... I could go ahead and spent my last 400 characters on why this is not really worth it, but instead I'm gonna use the remaining 306 characters by telling you something more interesting. Did you know, 3 people die every year, testing if a 9 volt battery works on their tongue?

Judging from his performance in this film Joe Pesci really can't do comedy well.The few scenes where he is supposed to be intentional funny falls flat .What makes this film work despite that is most of the time the situations his character is in that are funny is because he plays it pretty straight and let's the absurdity of what is happening be the joke.The most entertaining parts of the film were the courtroom scenes, particularly the scenes with the judge.

I don't know why I love this movie so much.I saw this a long time ago, when I did not know the difference between 'story' and 'script' and invariably kept my brain shut and was not exposed to 'world cinema' blah blah...There is something very sincere and naive about this movie that tugs at my heart. It will always be a sweet, little, perfect movie I can watch again and again and recommend to everyone. Fun and Funny from beginning to end. Marisa is The Bomb,ably supported by Joe & everyone else.

Painful at the outset with a textbook Idiot Plot, prison rape jokes, and boring slobs-vs-snobs conflicts. But eventually it does develop into something witty, engaging, and good-natured. Good job by Marisa Tomei and the perpetually sour-faced Pesci. *Extremely* '90s; can you say "driving montage set to blues rock"?

The events that animate the plot emerge exclusively from rote courtroom drama formula, but it's only because the script gives its characters priority. The humor relies on stereotypes and fish-out-of-water tropes, but Pesci and Tomei both play (somewhat) against type, which is almost solely responsible for the movie's charm. As a courtroom drama or as a character-based romantic comedy, it's competent and familiar, but as a movie that seamlessly blends the two, it's surprisingly effective.

watched this while dog-sitting at someone's house on a Saturday afternoon and yeah that's about right. it's not bad, but it's missing any sort of panache that would elevate it into something more than a rote exercise in making your grandma "glad she watched it." congrats to Tomei for winning an Oscar for one scene.

A really odd film that feels stitched together. Like, Pesci, Tomei, and Gwynne are both great, but the film around them just ambles along. Supposedly, Pesci had a ton of make-up done to make him look younger, but he looks ghoulish. I did like that he took his daughter with him...wait? that was his fiancee?

MY COUSIN VINNY is so likeable, it really helps to cover up that at it is actually not a very good movie. Credit goes to the terrific casting, the well-portrayed characters, and a quite a few funny moments sprinkled throughout the movie. Marisa Tomei is great, even if she was given a very generous Oscar for Best Suporting actress, and it's good to see Fred "Hermann Munster" Gwynn in a big role again. This is also director Lynn's best movie, which really isn't saying a hell of a lot.

It's kinda corny at times but overall the story is pretty good. Whether or not it's a realistic depiction of court room drama is secondary, this makes it more interesting than nearly any other court-driven movie I've seen. It's funny a lot of the time, too. And Marisa Tomei is v. hot in it.

I watched this movie out of sheer boredom, and I must say I was impressed. It manages to throw in tons of good comedy and still maintain a noticeable plot. Might I add, that there's nothing better than hearing a genuine New York accent for awhile when you've grown up in the South.

A by-the-numbers comedy which more or less gets the job done. It's pretty funny, but just keeps overusing its motifs and plot devices until its just too damn much. Tomei is great, but certainly not worthy of the Oscar then some of the better performances that year, like Judy Davis or Helena Bonham Carter. Overall, watchable, but quite average.

Joe Pesci is great in this. He gives his usual heated performance and is just hilarious. Another great performance comes from Fred Gwynne, who is most known for his role in "The Munsters" as Herman Munster. He plays a very straight and to the point judge, which contrasts wonderfully with Vinny's unprofessional attitude. Marisa Tomei is another actor in this film that should not be overlooked. She plays Vinny's girlfriend; she is smart, sassy, very funny, and sexy.
