Storyline

Two carefree pals traveling through rural Alabama on their way back to college are mistakenly arrested and charged with murder. Fortunately, one of them has a cousin who's a lawyer - Vincent Gambini, a former auto mechanic from Brooklyn who has just passed his bar exam after his sixth try. When he arrives with his leather-clad girlfriend to try his first case, it's a real shock - for him and the Deep South!

Critics consensus

“The deft comic interplay between Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei helps to elevate My Cousin Vinny 's predictable script, and the result is a sharp, hilarious courtroom comedy.”

My Cousin Vinny slumps badly as the courtroom scenes drag on; but when Tomei is on screen, even the jury wakes up.

RTThe Hollywood ReporterMar 13, 2017

Vinny is a winning character and Pesci's performance as the beleaguered litigant is terrific - cranked yet cuddly.

RTChicago TribuneApr 30, 2014

With such canny scene-stealers as Gwynne, Smith, Pendleton, McGill and Chaykin filling out the cast, it is very hard for My Cousin Vinny to go wrong, and indeed, for the purpose of pleasant Saturday night entertainment, it does not.

Aside from what Tomei can show with her glamour and a couple of dialogues about cars, I have the feeling that it is a very boring comedy. [Full review in Spanish]
