Was reading online somewhere that “My Cousin Vinny” was one of the few “Courtroom Drama” films that lawyers tended to agree had done it right. Reading up on it, it occurred to me that I hadn’t seen that movie in years and YEARS, and decided to pick up a used DVD for about 7 bucks.
Watching it, it was as fun as I recalled, but HOLY TOLEDO, I. forgot. how. GODDAMN PRETTY Marisa Tomei was in this flick! Her magnificent portrayal of charismatic "Auto Specialist" Mona Lisa Vito was of course one of her most memorable and colorful characters, and MAN, just about every scene she was in was jus’ KILLIN’ ME!!! Screencaps galore follow…
Boy, can you believe that all of these different looks are from the same freaking movie? What a versatile actress! She was nad has always been one of my favorite contemporary actresses, and watching My Cousin Vinny again after all these years was a nice trip down memory lane!
