[@PorterJustPorter]

The fact that the finale doesn't come down to a jury verdict is refreshing as well. I can see how this movie is basically "lawyer porn" for attorneys. It operates under every aspiring lawyer's fantasy of the outsider riding into a small town and righting the wrongs of injustice, winning over the townsfolk, being held in contempt, riding into the sunset after your very first case, etc. Vinny and Atticus Finch (an outsider in other abstract and more serious ways) are prolly series-regulars in the fantasies of many a aspiring lawyer.

When he was done, the script offered a bit of drama, plenty of comedy, and a nuanced portrayal of culture clash.

[@porgyt7177]

There was a bit of drama around the stuttering lawyer played by, Austin Pendleton, an actor who actually has a stutter. When the movie came out it was protested by a group of Stutterers who were upset that a person with a stutter would be so rude as to allow his stutter to be made a joke of. they claimed that the actor who played the role "must have been hard up for the money" to accept.

Where it did shake things (not so bad things fall off the shelf) and although it would wake you up in the start, after awhile you get used to it and can sleep right through it, even through the horn blowing when it crosses the intersection.

He was wearing a suit underneath, and took off his coat when he went to the defense table, of course, but there was not a single lawyer there that didn't get it.

As much as Marisa Tomei's testimony was the turning point for the case, I still give it to Joe Pesci to have been able to look at the images she took & also see what the discrepancy was without her assistance, and then realize how important her knowledge would be to win the case.

Like the ending with just Vinny and Lisa where she says you know and then you’ll have to say thank you for someone for helping you what a nightmare! The other thing I really liked about this movie were that the witnesses Really thought that these two guys had murdered the clerk. They weren’t lying they weren’t making anything up, they believed what they testified to. It’s Vinny, with Lisa‘s help that just had to solve the puzzle. I’m glad you liked it. There’s some other really good movies kind of like this one. My big fat Greek wedding, Liar liar is a really funny one, two of my favorite comedies are from the 80s. One is called ruthless people, the movie stars Danny Devito, Bette Midler, Judge Reinhold (from fast times at Ridgemont high,) and Helen Slater. The other one is called Soapdish. This movie has Robert Downey Jr., Sally Field, Whoopie Goldberg, Gary Marshall. This movie is about soap operas. And how sometimes real life can imitate a soap opera.

If you want a movie full of awesome cars, an amazing soundtrack, and a picture of teenage life in the 70's, check out Dazed and Confused.

So, I was a kid when this movie came out and over the years, I just never got around to watching it even though I had heard SO MUCH about it. Finally, a few weeks ago I got around to watching it on streaming and was blown away. It was obviously Marisa Tomei's breakout role but all the roles were just pitch perfect. It was such a better movie than I was expecting, so much smarter, so well written and crafted. It was funny, tender, complicated, unique. I've never seen a movie quite like it. Almost all of it holds up beautifully today (other than the speech impediment scene). No one was a blank stereotype, everyone was reasonable and fleshed out when they so easily in a lesser movie would've been caricatures and stereotypes. Just class through and through.

Marissa Tomei won an Oscar for this performance.

[@izzyryder4969]

Marisa Tomei is a timeless beauty. She looks just as good today at 57 years old as in 92' when she did this movie.

[@alexandervasel6845]

Now Time to get serious and watch one of the best movies ever! The Godfather 1 and 2 might be the best movie and sequel ever made.

[@diannklotzbier7447]

This was one of my dad’s favorite movies! I could hear him laugh thru out the house.

[@diannklotzbier7447]

Mine, too!

Ralph Macchio is a must see in Karate Kid and I know you will love it. I just finished watching season 5 of Cobra Kai and the writers are clever how they even use some My Cousin Vinny "easter eggs" as well as other movies. This is such a fun movie. One of my favorite movies with Marissa Tomei is Untamed Hearts. A must see movie that is seldom reacted to is August Rush. You will love it and I know Amber will cry at the end. I have seen it multiple times and cry every time. If you love music you will love the movie. One of my favorite lines from the movie is "Music is everywhere you just have to listen".

[@richardmaurice8622]

Untamed Heart takes place in Minnesota and Marisa Tomei is the only actor who bothered to get the the accent right.

[@アキコ2003]

I just love relationships like the one on this movie, almost reminds me of a "best friend" type of relationship but its romantic

[@BigPete44]

CLASSIC!! “I’m From NEW YORK! This is legendary! 😂 “THE TWO YUTES”!! 😂😎

[@meganbrick6266]

I loved this reaction! I adore this movie and it’s so fun watching people see it for the first time ❤

[@jeanniemetiva6745]

Melissa won an Academy award for her performance in this movie!!

[@Whitebrowpriest]

Did you guys realize that the main actor is Ralph Macchio from "The Karate Kid"? And also from the newer Netflix series, "Cobra Kai" (based on the Karate Kid)? If y'all haven't ever seen The Karate Kid (1984), then you simply MUST! (Parts 2 and 3 are good films too). :)

[@natalieburnham3300]

I watched a lawyer do a reaction to this movie. He said they auctally use this movie in class as it's the perfect training vehicle. It's pretty close to perfect as far as trial litigation goes. Great reaction kids.

[@Roguefem76]

Was that Legal Eagle? That reaction was what got me watching his vids. 😀

[@natalieburnham3300]

@@Roguefem76 I think it was.

[@ffwr-109]

Fred Gwynne was the judge and if I’m correct I believe he passed away the very next year/1993 after this movie was made/1992. He was a really good movie star during his time.

[@lindaraymond7419]

You have to watch fried green tomatoes. Screams southern life and excellent actors in it to boot!!.

[@robsquadmoviereactions]

And the title made me crave some fried green tomatoes! I’ll add it to the list

Joe Pesci is great in Goodfellas also starring Ray Liotta

[@glennreiland6854]

Awesome Actors in This Movie!👌🎁🎀🎬

[@sharonschannel3071]

Loved your reaction! Try "Best in Show" when you get a chance! It's hilarious.

[@USMCMachine]

I’m so glad I found your channel yesterday. Time to binge watch. Love your reactions. Top notch.

[@yirmiyahu1397]

One that I've been wanting to recommend for awhile now but have held back is 'The Outsiders', really great movie if you hadn't seen it yet.. it also has Ralp Macchio, and alot of big names it.. It's definitely a must see classic.

[@marthaanderson2656]

this was another movie where a character , Mona Lisa in this case, was costumed with such completeness that the character became large than life and so complete. She was the total package.

[@bigpapavee]

Funny when you saw how "little" Joe Pesci was but probably partly because the Judge whom he shared the scene with, (Fred Gwyn) is a gigantic man.

[@daviddunlop8832]

One of my favorite movies! Your reactions were great. The characters were perfectly casted. The judge, Fred Gywnn actually played Herman Munster from the 60's tv show.

[@leannewilson7184]

Marisa Tomei was golden in this movie and I hope you two “yoots” loved it! Segway to a new trilogy: “Lethal Weapon” with Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci(the cousin lawyer).

[@joeday4293]

Heh. My wife and I love this movie - her mentioning it in her dating profile was one of the reasons why I asked her out in the first place. She calls any awkward teens/kids "youts." We spell it that way because I finally declared that it was an acronym: Young Oblivious Unemployed Teenager. LOL

[@exeter1985]

Thanks for your post, I've been spelling it wrong all these years... I always spelled it "Utes" .... My bad.

[@sheldakrull1621]

When channel surfing for something to watch and you stumble on this movie you click on it, put the remote down and don't change it during the commercials, it's that good every time.

[@marnilong2302]

One of my favorite movies! I am so glad you guys enjoyed it too!

[@davidwilburn4734]

The Judge played Herman Munster in the series the Munsters.

[@jeffphillips9588]

J/A- National Lampoons Vacation (1983) is another hilarious time watching a family take a vacation and al that happens :). Highly recommend that you two add this to future comedy movie polls! Thanks for reacting to one of my fav movies of all time!!! Great reaction!

[@margaretgordon7571]

It's one of my favorite movies. I watch it every time it comes on.

[@TomCat777]

I'm so happy you guys enjoyed that, it's such a great movie

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Marisa Tomei is such a good actress. Don't know if you guys ever caught reruns of The Munsters, but the judge (Fred Gwynne) played Herman Munster.
