Plots(1)
Two carefree pals (Ralph Macchio and Mitchell Whitfield) traveling through Alabama are mistakenly arrested, and charged with murder. Fortunately, one of them has a cousin who's a lawyer - Vincent Gambini (Joe Pesci, Lethal Weapon 3, Home Alone), a former auto mechanic from Brooklyn who just passed his bar exam after his sixth try. Vinny's never been in court - or in Alabama - and when he arrives with his leather-clad girlfriend (Marisa Tomei in her Oscar winning Supporting Actress performance), to try his first case, it's a real shock - for him and the Deep South! (official distributor synopsis)

Enjoyable, entertaining, easy-going, with an irresistible central duo. Joe Pesci is charismatic and funny, Marisa Tomei is very nice to look at and her knowledge of cars is astounding, she deserved that Oscar, but why she hasn't appeared in a proper film since is a mystery to me.

I didn't expect anything from this movie, so my surprise was even greater when I started watching it. You'd think a courtroom movie couldn't surprise you, but when it's well made, it does. Moreover, it's a comedy that resonates with you thanks to the excellent actors in both the main and supporting roles. But mostly Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei carry the film.
