Classic comedy. I love it.

Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei are fantastic. I love their characters and their chemistry is off the fucking charts.

The best part of the movie is by far and away Joe Pesci cross examining the witnesses during the trial. Pretty much every courtroom scene is hysterical.

My Cousin Vinny perfectly blends comedy with a courtroom drama. It's definitely a blend you don't see often, but it's a blend that is perfect for me.

I have one major complaint. Whatever Botox or cosmetic surgery Joe Pesci got before filming this movie is horrific. It is so damn distracting. It looks like somebody is pulling back his eyebrows. Do you guys know that Homer Simpson meme where he has all those clamps and pins holding back his fat so that he looks skinny for Marge? That's what I imagine is happening to Joe Pesci's face. Plastic surgery has come a long way since 1992.

My Cousin Vinny is also a card carrying member of the TSBRSoA club. Watch this movie if you like smiling.
