 | From Amazon:
"Bill and Stan are mistaken for murderers while on vacation. Bill's family sends his cousin, Vinny Gambini, to defend them in his first case as a lawyer. Vinny's girlfriend, Mona Lisa Vito, joins him to help win the case because of a promise he made to her that he would marry her when he won his first case. Marisa Tomei won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in this film."
My wife has said "You're watching My Cousin Vinny again? How many times can you watch that movie without getting sick of it?" The answer is "I don't know" because I laugh myself silly every time I watch it. This is my favorite movie and the funniest I've ever seen. Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei are wonderful but the greatest treat is Fred Gwynne in the role of his life as the southern judge continually at odds with the street smart but law stupid Vinny Gambini.
This movie is a joy. I highly recommend it.
