"My Cousin Vinny" is a court-comedy starring Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei in lead characters along with Ralph Macchio of "Karate Kid" fame and Mitchell Whitfield, but the story is successfully carried by the stupendous ability and skills portrayed by Joe Pesci. Once in awhile, there's a film that you seem to enjoy for its content and execution, "My Cousin Vinny" is such a rare film for me, that I watched with no real expectation, yet it was a truly enjoyable experience. The film begins with the accusations on two young men (Ralph and Mitchell) who were mistaken for the murderer of a store clerk in small-town Alabama. Their family sends Bill's (Ralph) cousin, Vinny(Joe Pesci), to defend them. Vinny arrives with his girlfriend Marisa, the only problem is, he is clearly unqualified and out of place for the job(his first case).
The situations and related dialogues are so smooth with perfect timing, it tickles one effortlessly. Joe Pesci puts in an enjoyable underdog performance who's battling to prove himself as a lawyer with too much at stake for him. His unique acting style is commendable, moreover, he is efficiently complemented by pretty Marisa Tomei. This movie is truly a pleasure to watch with engaging script and performances by leading characters.
