My Cousin Vinny

1992 · 2hrs · R
Metacritic · IMDb · iTunes · Netflix · Amazon

The first act is laden with a few vestigial late-80s comedy tropes, but once it hits its rhythm it's engaging, suspenseful fun, and surprisingly well constructed. Tomei is brilliant, and the film—which is really a relationship story—owes everything to her, especially its rousing conclusion. (Also, I'm no huge fan of Travis Tritt, but more movies should have custom end credits songs!) posted 01.09.17

For my money, no more compelling courtroom scene has ever been committed to film. Tomei’s excellent performance reaches its peak, resolving the relationship conflict and the court case in the same rousing crescendo. The little details along the way are great, too, and handle the cultural and environmental differences without making hacky jokes or leaning on politics or religion.
