the movie is 30 years old now and I'm just seeing it for the first time. And honestly it was fantastic. Movies in the 80s and 90s were just DIFFERENT. It's a really fresh watch compared to most of the media junk today. The movie is written in a simple setting very down to earth, but that's the best part. It's entertaining, it's intuitive, and it's great to watch underdogs overturn the stage.

A good, solid, funny film. Marisa Tomei was Stunning, couldn't take my eyes off her.

You'd be hard pressed to find a comedy that runs its simple premise so well, or is so thoroughly entertaining in the process. The cast is superb, specifically the dynamic between Fred Gwynne, Joe Pesci, and Marissa Tomei is something that never ceases to bring a smile to my face whenever I think about it. Just the lines concerning "grits" could be used to teach a class on comedic writing.

Such a beautifully simple, funny plot!

The fresh presence of Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei stands out.
