A comedy of trial and error. “Fast and funny from first joke to last!”

Casting Joe Pesci in the lead role of “My Cousin Vinny” was a natural choice, since the character of Vinny was actually inspired by the Character of Joey La Motta in “Raging Bull”, which Pesci played a dozen years earlier!

In this must-see comedy hit, two carefree pals travelling through Alabama are mistakenly arrested and charged with murder. Fortunately, one of them has a lawyer friend in the family – Vincent Gambini (Joe Pesci), a former auto mechanic from Brooklyn who has never been in court – or in Alabama. When cousin Vinny arrives with his leather-clad girlfriend (Marisa Tomei in her Oscar-winning Supporting Actress performance) to handle his first case, it’s a real shock – for him and the Deep South!
