Marisa Tomei won an Awscah (OSCAR) for her hilarious turn as a car-savvy fish-outta-watah in this must-own comedy! When Bill and Stan (Ralph Macchio and Mitchell Whitfield) are mistakenly accused of murder on a trip through Alabama, they recruit Bill's cousin Vinny (Joe Pesci), a New York lawyer who's never gone to trial, to represent them before the formidable Judge Haller (Fred Gwynne). Will justice follow Vinny and his girlfriend (Tomei) south when they try to save the day? It's the most hilarious culture clash ever when they hit the road in this tried-and-true favourite. (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment)

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. ()
