My Cousin Vinny -- In MY COUSIN VINNY, lawyer Vincent Gambini fights heroically to save two clients who have everything against them -- including the facts that Vinny isn't from the area, has never been in a courtroom, and only passed the bar exam six weeks ago.

Two carefree pals (Ralph Macchio and Mitchell Whitfield) traveling through Alabama are mistakenly arrested, and charged with murder. Fortunately, one of them has a cousin who's a lawyer - Vincent Gambini (Joe Pesci), a former auto mechanic from Brooklyn who just passed his bar exam after his sixth try. Vinny's never been in court - or in Alabama - and when he arrives with his leather-clad girlfriend (Marisa Tomei in her Oscar® winning Supporting Actress performance), to try his first case, it's a real shock - for him and the Deep South!
