i just watch my cousin vinny again on hbo . i can not count how many time i have see it . i know the exact line that be come and i chuckle every time . the reason i find it so watchable be the sensational performance by all cast member ( ok maybe not machio . ) . my most vivid memory of the movie be that after see the theatrical release and think it be hysterical and i rent it while on vacation with my folk . to be honest and i do not remember the language be so . ah . harsh and and i sit there in shock thinking they would be mortify . well and after 15 minute my mom be howl with every morning wake up and every confrontation with the judge and and we almost lose her when austin pendelton start his stuttering defense . she love marisa tomei ( who do not . ) . i will never forget that night . the movie itself be the classic fish out of water tale . joe pesci and who i always find annoy in his mafia role and be perfect a the new yorker who will learn a he go along . and marisa tomei and his long suffering girlfriend and create a character so coarse and blunt and likable and drop dead gorgeous and i haven not see her equal since . i be always amaze that people question her acadamy award credential . the fact that comic turn be not often reward doesn not mean it wasn not a sensational characterization . and this be also a career cap role for fred gwynne . he capture the respectful southern gentleman judge and struggle to suppress his slow burn and perfectly . so tune in if you haven not see it and enjoy it again if you have . this be great entertainment and but remember and it rat r for language .
