Storyline
Bill Gambini and Stanley Rothenstein are two friends from New York University who just received scholarships to UCLA. They decide to drive through the South. Once they arrive in Alabama, they stop at a local convenience store to pick up a few snacks. But, no sooner than they leave the store, they are arrested. They had thought that they were arrested for shoplifting, but they were arrested for m****r and robbery. Worse, they are facing exe****on for this crime. Bill and Stan do not have enough money for a lawyer, so the good news is that Bill has a lawyer in his family, his cousin, Vincent Laguardia Gambini. The bad news is that Vinny is an inexperienced lawyer who has not been at a trial. So, Vinny has to defend his clients and battle an uncompromising judge, some tough locals, and even his fiancée, Mona Lisa Vito, who just does not know when to shut up, to prove his clients' innocence. But he will soon realize that he is going to need help
Joe Pesci

Marisa Tomei was a tour de force in this movie and deservedly won an Oscar for her performance as Lisa.

[@RyanCarrington]

I didn't know she'd won, but with how much I enjoyed her performance, I'm happy she did!

[@carlalussini]

​@@RyanCarringtonthere's this Hollywood gossip myth that the presenter couldn't pronounce the name of the person whose name was in the card so they chose Marissa, but it is most surely based on the fact that comedic roles are usually not recognized by prestige awards and just plain old misoginy, but actually it is very common for pretty it girls to win Oscars over plain looking working actress.

[@this.is.a.username]

@@carlalussini of the nominees that year, hers was the most difficult name to pronounce.... She won because she the better actress in the better movie. The 4 other movies are all forgotten nothings, same with the actresses themselves.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

@@carlalussini - Dear child, let's examine the playing field in 1992. Who should have won Best Supporting Actress? Maybe Joan Plowright should have won for her soap-opera grade acting in the box office flop "Enchanted April"? Or maybe Judy Davis, for her entirely forgettable role in the entirely forgettable film "Husbands and Wives"? Or maybe Miranda Richardson should have carried home a trophy for her hammy acting in the cheesy film "Damage"? I suppose they could have given the thing to Vanessa Redgrave, for playing an old matriarch of a British family in the yawn-fest "Howard's End"? She's a decent actress, but was basically just playing herself... the same role she always plays. But yes dear... it MUST have been a patriarchal scheme perpetrated by the 10,000 plus members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. All the actors, actresses, set designers, composers, directors, etc... they ALL teamed up to vote and give the award to an unheard of newcomer who had previously only done bit parts in TV shows. Or maybe... just maybe... Marisa Tomei CARRIED this film, which (unlike all the other films I named) people are still watching, still reacting to, some 30 years later. And maybe a side character CARRYING a film... is the best definition of a 'supporting' actor/actress.

One of those movies that I can watch any time without getting tired of it. One thing I always appreciate is that there are no actual villains in this (aside from the actual murderers, who we never see). The sheriff, witnesses, the opposing lawyer, the judge -- they all are genuinely interested in doing what's right, and think Vinny is defending obviously guilty clients. Even better for the story's sake, they don't have to be portrayed as comically stupid, either -- while incredibly unlucky for the boys, everything points at them and any reasonable person could believe they did it. That, plus Vinny and Lisa's chemistry is fantastic, with the right edge of bite and affection.

Marisa Tomei was an unknown newcomer at the time of that movie. And she won an Oscar for her role.

Yup, sometimes it's necessary to purchase dirt.It's fill dirt for construction and landscaping. But sometimes large construction projects will give away free dirt if you haul it away. I used to work at an arena and did you know there are 5 types of theatrical dirt for different purposes like monster trucks and rodeos. Thank you for coming to my dirty Ted Talk.

When you live in an area with a lot of clay soil, you need top soil to grow anything. Much more if you garden. Sometimes it's bought in bags, sometimes in huge truck loads.

I’m a short man. Growing up I thought settling for the role of funny “little guy” was going to be my lot in life. My first year of middle school gave me my first bully. For half that year I was absolutely miserable. Then, one day - home sick with a temp of 102.9, I caught “Goodfellas” on day time cable TV. The toughest wise guy there wasn’t a six foot tall mass of muscle and scars. It was Joe mudda’fuggin Pesci. “Am I a clown? Do I _amuse_ you?” I know it sounds stupid, and if you stopped reading a paragraph ago I wouldn’t blame you. It’s just, from that moment on, I stopped letting my height define me. All because I saw a little dude stand up for himself. From Casino, to My Cousin Vinny, Joe Pesci showed me I could be whatever the hell I wanted to be. Yeah, I know, stupid. True though.

Back in the old days of R-rated non-gross out comedies. My parents brought 9 year old me to this movie in cinemas lol. Grits are basically polenta, though the corn is treated in a chemical process to preserve it (from back when preservation was difficult). That process turns the corn white, so the cooked grits are pale compared to polenta. Like polenta, grits are as good as the flavourings added to them.

[@RyanCarrington]

I'll definitely try them if I'm ever in the south or spot them on a menu. For some reason I assumed they'd be potato based.

This movie was on tv fairly regularly in the 90s and we’d always watch it when we came across it. It’s just so good and Mona Lisa is such a fun character.

There actually was no minimum age for the death penalty in Alabama in 1992 (though in practice they didn't put anyone under 16 on death row) and in 2005 the Supreme Court made it illegal in all states to give the death penalty to someone for a crime committed before they turned 18.

[@tylerfoster6267]

I mentioned this on your community post as well, but it is absolutely wild that there was a long-standing rumor that Marisa Tomei's name was called by accident when she won an Oscar for this movie. It's true that the Academy, unfortunately, almost never acknowledges comedies, but all you have to do is see the movie and know she gives a deserving performance. She's so funny in the movie. Also, many will probably tell you -- they might have told you already! -- that this movie is routinely cited as one of the most accurate in depicting the courtroom process.

[@chadbennett7873]

Tyler is correct here. Fred Gwynne also played a policeman, Francis Muldoon, on "Car 54, Where Are You?" and also wrote and illustrated several outstanding children's books. He was one of my all-time favorite actors, incredible facial acting.

Great flick. Grits are much better than they look. About contempt. If you ever get the chance, read “Helter Skelter,” by Vincent Bugliosi. It’s about the Manson trial.

Goes to show that a good comedic script (delivered impeccably), a good storyline, and a talented cast of actors can produce a gynormously entertaining movie experience without one single freaking explosion. What passes for filmmaking today (yes, these days) is actually just a Fourth of July fireworks display; one loud, fiery detonation after the next, non-stop for an hour and a half. If you want pyrotechnics, go to a fireworks show. If you want to enjoy a well made movie, watch this.

[@twylanaythias]

The judge is played by Fred Gwynne. He began as an illustrator and (later) a Broadway actor, but rose to fame in the 1960s - first as Francis Muldoon in "Car 54, Where Are You?", then as Herman Munster in "The Munsters". Despite his towering 6'5" height, his acting range was broad enough to go from endearing to quirky to terrorizing to hilarious with scarcely a breath between. Sadly, he passed away from pancreatic cancer barely a year after his role as Judge Chamberlain Haller in "My Cousin Vinny". This performance, perhaps most of all, is a testament to his acting skills as he was often in agonizing pain between takes but not a bit of his suffering was apparent while he was on the set.

[@BigGator5]

"It is possible that the two yutes..." "...Ah, the two what? Uh... uh, what was that word?" "Uh... what word?" "Two what?" "What?" "Uh... did you say yutes?" "Yeah, two yutes." "What is a yute?" "Oh, excuse me, your honor... Two YOUTHS." I love this movie. There's no real bad guy in this movie (except if you consider the real murderers) and once the innocence of Bill and Stan becomes clear, all charges are dropped. Fun Fact: The misunderstanding between Vincent Gambini and Judge Haller (Fred Gwynne) regarding the two "youts" was in fact a real conversation between Joe Pesci and director Jonathan Lynn. Lynn, who is British, at first had a hard time understanding Pesci's pronounced New York accent. He decided that the routine was quite funny and put it in the film. Wise Owl Fact: According to director Jonathan Lynn, the eastern screech owl in the scene in the woods was a real owl that had a little prior training so it wouldn't be scared away by the gunfire. The crew got it to open its mouth by giving it little pieces of beef, and artificially induced screeches were added to the film in post production. The owl's reaction to Vinny (Joe Pesci) shooting the gun was authentic and needed only one take. Law Enthusiast Fact: Director Jonathan Lynn actually has a law degree and insists the film's legal proceedings be realistic. In fact, many attorneys and law professors have praised the film for its accurate depiction of trial strategy and courtroom procedure, especially with regards to presenting expert witnesses at trial. In fact, the film has been screened at some law schools to illustrate courtroom procedures. The American Bar Association's publication, the ABA Journal, ranked the film #3 on its list of the 25 Greatest Legal Movies.

In rural America there are often signs for people wanting fill dirt. America is huge, most of it was sparsely populated until a little over 100 years ago and has a lot of elevation changes. So moving dirt from one place to another in order to level an area, fill in holes or add top soil for agriculture is pretty common. It definitely is a rural thing, though. It never occurred to me that it wasn't a thing in other countries until your comments tbh.

[@RyanCarrington]

I was kinda half joking because the concept of selling earth is kind of amusing to me. But the thing that really made me laugh was that it was just marketed simply as 'dirt' and was being sold on dirt at the side of the road 😅 And with the next sign reading free manure, that just made it for me 😂

[@Sean-gj7vw]

My neighbor in NJ would buy truckloads of dirt AKA "topsoil" to level his lawn every summer. Landscape companies sell "mushroom dirt," topsoil and "clean fill." Lows and Home Depot sell bags of dirt and potting soil as well.🤦‍

[@RyanCarrington]

It was a tongue in cheek comment about me finding the selling of dirt to be quite amusing, especially in this context when they forwent the bells and whistles and just called it what it was. When you buy 'dirt' over here, it's got about 5 names to remove the idea that you're actually just purchasing, well, dirt and it's not sold at the side of the road, on dirt 😂 My dryness can be confusing.

The first time I saw Marisa was as Maggie, a perky but accident-prone college freshman, in season 1 of the sitcom "A Different World." She left after the end of that season to do movies.

Marissa Tomei won an Oscar for best supporting actress for this movie

[@RyanCarrington]

Well deserved. I loved her in this!

[@scottwilson3741]

@@RyanCarrington It's one of those movies I can watch anytime I catch it on

[@CrimsonRoseDancer]

In deleted scenes you find out that Vinny is dyslexic and that’s why it was hard for him to pass the bar and read that law book. All the law enforcement, witnesses, and judge and lawyer are actually doing their job well based on the evidence they had before them. When they find out they’re wrong , they immediately switch gears rather than buckle down and try to pin it on the innocent. The judge was actually not out of turn to be so hard on Vinny, it’s considered and insult to be so unprofessional and ill prepared and it takes up valuable time in a bogged down court system. When he was stopping Vinny with the witness, it was because it could be deemed harassment of he witness to keep on like that. I love this movie and Marisa Tomei is everyone’s favorite.

"To kill a mockingbird" is my favorite courtroom movie.

[@WUStLBear82]

Marisa Tomei not only stole the picture, the following year she nabbed the Best Supporting Actress Oscar away from four (at the time) higher-profile actresses: Judy Davis, Vanessa Redgrave, Miranda Richardson, and Dame Joan Plowright.

[@RyanCarrington]

It's crazy to hear that it was so controversial

Grits are courser ground and most often white hominy corn instead of yellow, and typically served looser, but otherwise they're just the same as polenta.

[@RyanCarrington]

See, I like corn. So maybe I would love them. I've never had polenta either. Man I sound so uncultured haha

[@RyanCarrington]

@GOT Reactions see when they first said grits, I thought I'd had them before, but I thought it was potato based, like a hashbrown type of thing. So when I saw what that diner had served up, I was horrified haha

[@willcool713]

@@RyanCarrington There are all sorts of ways they're served, pretty much a staple in some parts. Cheese and bacon grits are pretty common. And shrimp and grits is a really well known dish. Oftentimes it's served like rice, with a meat or thick stew, served over the grits. Salt and butter is all I need, though. Have you had Corn Nuts? Those are toasted whole, yellow hominy corn nibblets, but still hominy, same as grits and polenta. We eat a lot of corn, in all sorts of forms, here in the US.

[@philmakris8507]

Grits are great.

[@RyanCarrington]

[@gggooding]

I understand why it's not there, but it's notable that Daniel-san and the other dude never take the stand to defend themselves. Curious if there's a deleted scene or sumthin in the script with that.

[@CAbbott71]

Love Fred Gwynne in this. He just brings his towering physique into the role as judge. A real Herman Munster in a suit.

[@Just-Saiyan]

Seeing Pesci with his face skin pulled so far back is so weird. They used skin colored tape to pull the skin back around his eyes. Once you notice it you can't unsee it.

[@MrLovegrove]

Brilliant reaction. Love how much you got into this. I think your Alabama at the start sounded pretty good actually. The rest needed a little work, but the start was pretty good. You're right about something else too. The boys could have asked for a new trial based on ineffective representation if Vinny hadn't gotten his act together and won.

[@jtoland2333]

It was so great watching your reaction. Your laugh is so contagious! So, if you love courtroom drama, try Primal Fear with Richard Gere and a REALLY young Edward Norton. Also, thank you and all our ancestors over there, for the word, verdict. What else ya got?

[@kbsanders]

Ya get dat? Da whole store got da flu.

[@josiaharaki7310]

The fact he's an out-of-state lawyer is possibly why he needed to lie about his accomplishments. A lawyer can receive permission from a judge to practice on a limited time basis out of state, but for charges with capital punishment, they'd almost never grant it to a newbie lawyer, and, according to Quora, in many states, a lawyer must receive additional certification to argue such cases.

[@GrouchyOldBear7]

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

[@RyanCarrington]

Thanks for watching 🤙

[@DavidRomigJr]

I’ve seen online lawyers state that this movie represents the discovery process very well, much more than most movies and TV shows, and is known to be used in school as an example of how it works.

[@traceyreid4585]

Welcome to the Marisa Tomei 'crush club!' She is stunning and brilliant... without her feisty on screen presence this film would probably not be as iconic as it is today! Great reaction, just the laugh -a-long I needed today! Cheers

Glad to be of service! Yeah, I can't imagine this movie without her. She blew me away.

in a court of law you absolutely cannot under any circumstances "Ask leading questions."

[@iambecomepaul]

Oh, you can ASK it. It’s just that you’re going to get your a$$ handed to you by opposing counsel… THEN the judge. Hell…the BAILIFF is going to give you the side eye 😂

[@RyanCarrington]

Leading questions was probably the wrong word. 'Open questions' is more of what I meant. Like, 'isn't it true that....'

[@iambecomepaul]

@@RyanCarrington lmao! It’s cool, dudio. We’re just pulling your leg. “Leading question” is really just begging for a rhetorical distinction. A first year attorney is going to learn, “never ask a question you don’t know the answer to.” So in effect… leading questions (in reality).

[@markdecker6190]

Great movie, seen it a dozen times at least! Fun fact, just in case others haven't commented on this already, there have been at least two or three attorneys on KZbin who have reviewed the movie from a legal perspective and they both give thumbs up for the basics used in the movie's courtroom proceedings, that except for some poetic license whoever their legal advisor was, was right on the mark.

[@bobapjok4241]

I think this is my alltime favorite movie. enjoyed the reaction. great job

[@lillianparker6973]

I remember the controversy when she won. She was up against some serious actresses for the Oscar. Because she was so new and my cousin vinny was a comedy no one thought she stood a chance of winning but when she won there was a loud outcry. They even tried to say that the presenter was drunk and misread the name for the winner. I feel she deserved the Oscar

Alabama doesn't actually HAVE a minimum age of execution in the penal code. But it does have Chinese food.
