What critics say influenced My Cousin Vinny
The surprises pretty much end there in My Cousin Vinny, written by Dale Launer (Ruthless People, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) and directed by Jonathan Lynn (Clue).
Director Jonathan Lynn ("Nuns on the Run") and screenwriter Dale Launer ("Ruthless People," "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels") have both done better.
And what a pig's hearing organ it is, a stretched-out courtroom caper scripted by Dale ("Ruthless People") Launer.
It was written by Dale Launer, who wrote "Ruthless People" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," and directed by Jonathan Lynn, the Englishman who wrote and directed "Nuns on the Run" and collaborated on the scripts for the English television series "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister."
This turns on some neat subtleties regarding automotive topography and the script, by Dale Launer (who wrote the better "Ruthless People" and the worse "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"), develops a nice line as it reveals Tomei, initially a fairly standard issue arm decoration, to be sharp as a tack and quick as an adder.
In "JFK" he was like a yowling wind-up toy embroiled in the high dudgeon of Oliver Stone's conspiracy theories.
It's a relief to see Pesci in his first decent follow-up to Martin Scorsese's "GoodFellas" (apart from his supporting role in "JFK").

Britain's Jonathan Lynn of "Nuns on the Run" probably wouldn't know a Moon Pie from a pecan cluster, but he was chosen to direct this Wazhoo City, Ala.-set…
