My Cousin Vinny - Recommend it?
I still have not seen this movie and my sister gave me the DVD.
Is it any good? :shrug:

13. If only to see the scrumptious Marisa Tomei at her very best..
it's worth it. Throw in a very funny Joe Pesci and a terrific supporting cast, and you have a real winner.

And hey, it was filmed in the town my mom's family lived in while she was waiting for my dad to come home from Vietnam. My Momma wrapped her Daddy's brand new Lincoln around a tree in that town and they still call it Dale's tree lol. You gotta see if for that alone lol. :D

One of my favorite movies of all time!

Judge Chamberlain Haller: Mr. Gambini, didn't I tell you that the next time you appear in my court that you dress appropriately?

Vinny Gambini: You were serious about that?

37. oh hell yes, and i quote...
Vinny Gambini: What about these pants I got on? You think they're okay?

Mona Lisa Vito: Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing around. You get thirsty. You spot a little brook. You put your little deer lips down to the cool, clear water - BAM. A fuckin' bullet rips off part of your head. Your brains are lying on the ground in little bloody pieces. Now I ask you, do you give a fuck what kind of pants the son-of-a-bitch who shot you was wearing?

42. Many laugh out loud moments...

You'll like it!

43. I couldn't sit through it. Marisa Tomei is so annoying in this flick.
And anything with Ralph Macchio in it is generally bad. Thumbs down.

from it. With Lisa lecturing to Vinny about the poor deer getting its head blown off. That's a fun scene. :)

58. After you watch it, let us know what you think.
I love it. My husband says he hates it, but if I'm watching it he will always come in and sit down and watch it with me and laugh out loud.

59. It's a bit goofy at times but quite hysterical
I just saw it a week or two ago on one of those networks like USA, TNT, Comedy Channel or something like that.
