Review
A typical early 1990s
film with all the pros and cons that implies. Joe Pesci and
Fred Gwynne enjoy an unconventional rivalry as respectively an unkempt defence attorney
and a no-nonsense judge who meet in court where the
former must defend his cousin (Macchio) who is on trial for a murder he
didn't commit. The tone of the film is enjoyable and carefree, never
worrying about utilizing stereotypes and archetypes to construct more or
less insipid comedic situations – usually about the differences between
The South (Alabama) and the perceivably more urban North-East (New
York). Pesci and Tomei have some surprisingly erotic scenes together,
and the courtroom scenes are amusing if highly predictable. Tomei
won an Academy Award for her performance.
