Very good, but one reason to watch it...
26 December 2014
The film is very good, pretty much what I expected. I expected a light, breezy, entertaining comedy and that's what I got, although I do think that the running time was just a bit too much. It could've afforded to lose maybe 20 minutes there. Joe Pesci is very good, but seems to be playing the type of usual character he's so known for. As good as the film is, the biggest, most absolutely sure reason to watch it is for Marisa Tomei. Already know that it's an all-time worthy comedic performance, and we don't get those often. She manages to come across incredibly natural, while still being brassy and fun. She manages to make her character a real person and not just for show while hitting all of her notes perfectly.
