Pros: Humorous, cute plot, Marrisa Tomei.
Cons: No Cons.
Summary: Marrisa Tomei, I have to tell you, is the spitting image of me. Only as far as the attitude.

Pros: Perhaps one of the "knee-slappingly" funniest movies to ever grace the silverscreen; an ensemble cast, endless hilariously memorable one-liners and perhaps the funniest "double-entendre" comedy scene (Vinny meets his clients in jail) I

Summary: I INTRO
I recall originally seeing this movie as a fallback selection to another movie that had been sold out at the time I went to see it. I initially insisted on my friends' going on to see this flick by themselves. They, ... read more
