Movies starring Marisa Tomei

Oscar (1991)

109 mins     Comedy, Crime      

Those who say that Sylvester Stallone can't do comedy should watch him in "Oscar" as he does a nice job of playing a gangster trying to go straight but having one of those days where every thing is transpiring against him fro...

Chaplin (1992)

143 mins     Biography, Drama      

Bio-pics can often be one of the most disappointing genres when it comes to movies, either the story isn't that interesting unless you know them or the director has treated the storyline too commercially ignoring reality for ...

My Cousin Vinny (1992)

120 mins     Comedy, Crime      

"My Cousin Vinny" reminds me of "Stir Crazy" because they are both fun movies with some amusing set pieces but in truth work because of two actors playing fun characters. Those two people in this case are Joe Pesci and Marisa...

Only You (1994)

115 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

Starring Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr., "Only You" was billed as a sort of "Sleepless in Seattle"; sadly it never quite lived up to the comparison. To be honest, "Only You" is not a bad movie as romantic-comedies go, and...

What Women Want (2000)

127 mins     Comedy, Fantasy, Romance      

Released back in 2000, Nancy Meyer's "What Women Want" is a great rom-com, one which thanks to its pairing of Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt, as well as a clever storyline appeals to both men and women. Whilst it has to be said th...

Anger Management (2003)

106 mins     Comedy      

When "Anger Management" hit the big screens back in 2003, I thoroughly enjoyed it, with it being filled with Sandler's crude and childish humour whilst also starring Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson. But having recently re-wat...

Alfie (2004)

103 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

38 years after Michael Caine played the cockney charmer in "Alfie" we have Jude Law giving us his version of the charmer, but an updated one which not only shifts the story across the water but with a focus made for a new gen...

Wild Hogs (2007)

96 mins     Comedy      

Despite having read numerous, sometimes scathing reviews of "Wild Hogs" I still had a burning desire to watch it, and even though after watching it I tended to agree with a few of the negatives which have been levied against ...

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)

117 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

I have tried to keep the detail to that synopsis of "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" down to a minimum because this is a movie which works on you not knowing things before hand. It not only works on you not knowing things...

The Wrestler (2008)

109 mins     Drama, Romance, Sport      

You could say that Mickey Rourke has had an eventful career, a movie star in the 80s, boxer during the 90s and then back again to being an actor. During that time he became known to be hard to work with, had drug issues and s...

Cyrus (2010)

91 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

If I told you that "Cyrus" was about a divorced man finding love but discovering that the new woman in his life has a manipulative son who tries to split them up what would you think? If I told you that "Cyrus" also stars Joh...

The Lincoln Lawyer (2011)

118 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

I like movies like "The Lincoln Lawyer" as whilst it is not great it is the complete package. It has a storyline and subplots which right from the word go draw you in and then takes you on a journey as the plot thickens so yo...

The Ides of March (2011)

101 mins     Drama      

I reckon if "The Ides of March" had been set in the world of British politics it may have grabbed my attention and kept it. You see I am a Brit who has little knowledge of how politics and campaigning works in America and to ...

Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011)

118 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011) Steve Carell stars as a middle aged man who is thrown back in to the dating pool when his wife suddenly decides she wanta a divorce...

Parental Guidance (2012)

105 mins     Comedy, Family      

Parental Guidance - Billy Crystal & Bette Midler star as old school grandparents who struggle when asked to look after their modern grandchildren....

Inescapable (2012)

93 mins     Drama, Mystery, Romance      

A thinking man's "Taken" is what I am guessing they were going for with "Inescapable" focusing more on arranging deals, various connections, secrets, lies and so on rather than being an action movie where one man turns killin...

The Rewrite (2014)

107 mins     Comedy, Romance      

The Rewrite (2014) Hugh Grant stars as a screenwriter forced to teach when no one will buy a script and finds himself falling for a single mum (Marisa Tomei) in his class...
