MCV isn't bursting at the seams with plot, but it makes up for that in spades by having heaps of charm and characters worth caring about. It’s a comedy about two young NY guys who get their asses deep in trouble in Alabama and need a lawyer. They get Vinny. He’s a legal fish out of water but he’s got something to prove, so he throws his heart and soul into the work.
The cast are all excellent. Joe Pesci is his usual self and perfect for the role. Marisa Tomei provides support and sparkle. Seeing the wonderful Fred Gwynne without bolts in his neck is also a rare treat.
