I thought it was a fantastic film.

It seems Ebert wants perfection, else give a thumbs down.

I have always considered it so much more than a movie. There is something spiritual and Godly weaving within the celluloid. Totally unforgettable.

Siskel is so right in his response to Ebert here: the movie's not about Ralph Macchio's character, you Penguin-looking overstuffed potato! I generally like Ebert's contrarian take on things, but this just seems like he's straining to find a reason to not give it a thumbs up.

Who could imagine the star of Joe Eszterhas would rot so fastly?

You could say the same thing about Snow Day: Hal at any point in that movie could have said: "Yeah, Claire's hot, but my cute redheaded best friend totally has the hots for me. Maybe I should just spend the day with her."

Nevertheless

Saw this when Animal Planet aired it in the late 1990s.

Suspense. What an idiot. RIP It’s a comedy. Very very very funny movie.

Ebert was really reaching with his criticisms as if he thought his film snob credentials would be revoked if he condescended to like a low-brow comedy.

Never quite trust Gene on comedies. Ebert is a better comedy critic. But, Gene is better at rating dramas. Thumbs up to Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Funny flick.

This is not a Latino boys n the hood 😂😂

It is one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen , but it is a Brilliant film, unlike those torture films like Wolf Creek - I am still stunned how people can say Friday the 13th films and compare those films to Henry because those films are made to just give more gore for it's own sake

I watched this so many times on VHS back as a teen in the 80s. What's wrong with these guys? I just got the Blu Ray today put out by Kino Lorber. Makes you wonder what they thought of Light of Day. I watched that here in the theaters in Cleveland.

The egg...as symbolic of the soul. ..

Everyone wants to trash that film, but I think it's important to have films like this exist. If you want to understand villainy and the roots of evil, then you must see them in full form. A clockwork orange would not have worked if the main character had some redeeming qualities. Let us see evil for what it is. I liked the Bad Lieutenant and I'm glad I saw it.

Liam Neeson got the part because he was good at making lists 😮

I agree with Ebert 100%

Not the best movie but the scene with Sydney Pollock as a Dr. was better than most films at the time.

YOUTS 4 LIFE!

Good enough movie to watch once, but not worth a repeat. The lead characters are over the top and only marginally like-able. Marginal thumbs up.

So violent this got an X rating MGM was like NO R

I forgive Siskel cuz he was sick and a snob but a good guy ebert on the other hand remains the best movie critic we habe ever had and though I hardly agree w some of his stuff he's the best Now it's kermode as the best

What are the absolute great dialogue movies of all time the acting is top tier

I HATED Dead Again. Shut up, Roger.

Amazing movie

I never listen to critics.... they don't speak for all of us

Anyone who would give My Cousin Vinny a thumbs down has no taste in movies.

Ebert sucks. Like Siskel said, it was a great movie for all the reasons he mentions

I gotta take a dump

Nahhh didn't like this movie much myself Fox is always a hoot but this was just average cant believe it was a bigger hit than Back to the future

Siskel and Ebert were actors. Everything on the mainstream media is carefully planned. It's not like this was filmed live lol

This is why you never listen to CRITICS.

Just watched it for the first time, and I really enjoyed it. Disagree with Gene. And I’m disappointed that neither give any credit to Glenne Headly, who I thought was brilliant in this.

Roger Ebert always got it wrong

I saw this film when I was 18 ,it was Extraordinary and Masterful. One of the Best movie I've ever seen.

Robocop has heavy duty violence. Come on, Gene!

Robocop was badly cut to obtain the R rating.

Robin did a Bond impersonation whilst Brosnan later become 007!

1:36 😂

Roger had the same effect whilst watching Dumb and Dumber

The other film they implied briefly was Date with an Angel

This was badly edited by the MPAA especially the sex scene whereas the blood that is leaking on the ceiling and lands on the nude couple

Siskel is hard

The 1st and the 2nd film were horror masterpieces

The slasher ruined it for me.

Yes, most critics sneered at it.

I miss these guys

Ebert is in my opinion, the greatest film critic of all time.. He's allowed to wrong occasionally, which he was here. My Cousin Vinny is a phenomenal film.

Ebert completely missed the mark on this one. It wasnt about the case, the movie focused exacrly where it should have on Vinney and Mona Lisa. Ralph was a supporting actor.
