My Cousin Vinny


 "My Cousin Vinny" is a 1992 American comedy film starring Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei, Ralph Macchio, and Fred Gwynne.


The film follows two young men, Bill Gambini (Ralph Macchio) and Stan Rothenstein (Mitchell Whitfield), who are mistakenly arrested for murder while traveling through rural Alabama.

Bill and Stan call upon Bill's cousin, Vincent "Vinny" Gambini (Joe Pesci), who is a loudmouthed, inexperienced lawyer from Brooklyn, to defend them in court. Despite his lack of courtroom experience, Vinny is determined to prove their innocence. Along the way, he is assisted by his feisty fiancée, Mona Lisa Vito (Marisa Tomei), who surprisingly possesses extensive knowledge about cars and proves to be a valuable asset to Vinny's defense strategy.

"My Cousin Vinny" is celebrated for its sharp wit, hilarious courtroom antics, and memorable performances, particularly Marisa Tomei's portrayal of Mona Lisa Vito, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. The film is a delightful blend of comedy and legal drama, with plenty of quotable lines and laugh-out-loud moments. If you enjoy clever humor and courtroom hijinks, "My Cousin Vinny" is a must-watch comedy classic.
