Yep, it’s really a lot of fun. A little hard on some parts of both southern culture and NY culture, but just enough to make it even funnier. Not just Pesci as a lawyer and all the lawyer jokes; making a judge out of Fred Gwynne so he could make all those facial expressions he’d perfected was a casting winner. So was Marisa Tomei. And the characters that played witnesses … to this day when I’m saying ‘I guess’ it always comes out with that drawl. Every scene in the film was comical first, and never let up. Masterpiece.
My absolute favorite comedy.
