This is a film that gets better as it goes along, but not enough better to make much of a difference.

Reviews for My Cousin Vinny
There's a lot of wasted effort here trying to distract us from what we know good and well is going to happen. Nevertheless, it's time pleasantly spent.

Too dependent on convenient stereotypes and fish-out-of-water cliches, though the late Fred Gwynne is a welcome presence.

It's the kind of movie home video was invented for: Not worth the trip to the theater, but slam it into the VCR and you get your rental's worth.

Top CriticSmart-talking comedy with Joe Pesci in fine form.

Very funny fish-out-of-water flick and, Oscar notwithstanding, generally underrated.

Joe Pesci is a total screen pleasure. He grabs whatever comes his way -- from GoodFellas to Home Alone

Though overrated, this comedy shows why Joe Pesci was once an important film addition

While it's easy to imagine an infinite number of bad courtroom comedies based on this scenario, this movie turns out to be wonderful -- broad and low character comedy that's solidly imagined and beautifully played.
