I watched "My Cousin, Vinny" last night

[CatWoman]

and must admit I enjoyed it.

Or am I losing my mind?

1. Probably my all time favorite "lawyer" movie

"they don't teach you THAT in law school"

"Well, then, what do they teach you?"

"CONTRACTS!"

[ThoughtCriminal]

2. No, it's a hoot - nt

[terrya]

3. It's ok...Marisa Tomei did NOT deserve the Oscar for her performance.

Otherwise, it was a pretty good comedy. The best thing in it was Fred Gwynne. :-)

7. I agree

Fun movie but not Oscar material. :)

[Yupster]

10. Agree Terrya

8. Keep This In Mind....

'Cause Chevy didn't make a 327 in 55. The 327 didn't come out until 62. And it wasn't offered in the Bel Air with the four barrel carb 'til 64. However, in 1964, the correct ignition timing would be four degrees before tap dead center.”

14. "What do you wear hunting?"

17. Nope, you're not losing your mind

it's a good movie. It wasn't widely publicized when it came out--no huge publicity event or anything. It began with some word of mouth by people, until it became much better known. The real event that got it better known was when it got several Academy Award nominations, and that year Marisa Tomei won the Oscar when Jack Palance announced her name, and that was the major shocker since people thought one of two other actors were going to win. Some people even thought he had said the wrong name!

But it's got a lot of great elements that work, so it is fun to watch.
