My Cousin Vinny
Directed by Jonathan Lynn
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! From TMDB

60 of 221 · most liked firstI admit to being a major fan of Marisa Tomei. She was heartbreaking in Before The Devil Knows You Are Dead with Phillip Seymour Hoffman, wonderful with Sissy Spacek in the film In The Bedroom, and hilarious in My Cousin Vinny. She is absolutely wonderful in Only You.
neutral · AI labelView post →MY COUSIN VINNY is on TV and I don't think normies appreciate that this is probably the most accurate movie about criminal procedural law ever made in addition to being a fantastic movie. I am completely serious about this. It gets everything right.
positive · AI labelView post →What is the single greatest movie of all time, and why is it My Cousin Vinny?
neutral · AI labelView post →My Cousin Vinny is on TV, and I forgot how perfect this movie is.
positive · AI labelView post →***MY COUSIN VINNY LIVE-TWEET: THE RULES*** This lecture explores the cinematic classic 'My Cousin Vinny' through the lens of English and Welsh law. Contributions and observations are welcome, but I'm perfectly prepared to tweet the entire film to a wall of embarrassed silence.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh, Presumption of Innocence - Harrison Ford and Raul Julia. Great movie. I understand that the movies depict the practice of law as well as they do history. The exception is My Cousin Vinny, whose director and screenwriter were both lawyers - they were scrupulous about the portrayal. #hatm
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching My Cousin Vinny for the first time. They used to talk about this movie all the time to us mock trial students, to the point where I put off watching it because I was so tired of hearing about it
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched My Cousin Vinny for the first time in probably 25 years. Extremely fun movie. Pesci and Tomei are great but it’s also loaded with character actor ringers. Fred Gwynne! Lane Smith! James Rebhorn! Maury Chaykin! It’s so much fun.
positive · AI labelView post →People really try to reinvent the wheel on movie premises, we got both "My Cousin Vinny" and "Legally Blonde" out of "what if a good lawyer was also kind of silly"

positive · AI labelView post →My Cousin Vinny really might be a perfect movie
positive · AI labelView post →Coyote v Acme is the first movie since My Cousin Vinny to capture the essence of what it means to be a lawyer. In this essay I will
neutral · AI labelView post →egg🎞️irl. Description: A screenshot of a review of the movie "My Cousin Vinny". The review is dated Nov 26, 2020. It says: "I'm a man who is very content with his gender identity, but I must admit there's part of me that wants nothing more than to literally *be* Marisa Tomei in this movie and wear all those delightful leather jackets and backless catsuits while talking in that New York accent." Underneath is a "2026 edit" which says: hahaha. oh sweet girl. i guess the signs were all there."
neutral · AI labelView post →Coyote vs. Acme is the best legal film since Legally Blonde, possibly the best since My Cousin Vinny, and every lawyer needs to see it. I expect a @barristersecret.bsky.social thread and a @davidallengreen.bsky.social article as soon as is convenient. #coyotevsacme

positive · AI labelView post →Watching Marisa Tomei's most famous scene from My Cousin Vinny, and it has to be said: there is no Oscar year, from the beginning of the ceremony until this month's, in which this performance would not have won the award www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvYQ...
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally got around to watching My Cousin Vinny. What an absolutely delightful film.
positive · AI labelView post →My Cousin Vinny is such a good movie. Must stop every time it’s on TV. Same with The Fugitive.
positive · AI labelView post →My Cousin Vinny is a movie with a shocking amount of nuance, wit, and charm. It's a damn fine movie. Joe Pesci and Marissa Tomei steal the show.
positive · AI labelView post →My lukewarm take: The last 20 minutes of My Cousin Vinny are as rewatchable as just about any stretch of any movie ever made. I must have seen it 150 times. Never misses.
positive · AI labelView post →Also, FWIW - My Cousin Vinny is such a great lawyer film that it's not uncommon for clips to be used in law school. And mostly not as "really really don't do that" illustrations. There's really good courtroom advocacy in there.
neutral · AI labelView post →Which actor completely stole the movie... even though they weren't the lead? Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve heard lawyers say My Cousin Vinny is the most accurate legal movie and med professionals say Scrubs is the most accurate medical show. And that should teach us all a lesson. I’m not sure what, but something.
neutral · AI labelView post →Democrats need to study the hell out of My Cousin Vinny and embrace their inner Joe Pesci from that movie. Keep things simple and direct, right to the point. They lose people by talking too much or doing too much explaining.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tbh if you like Ace Attorney you should watch My Cousin Vinny at least once. I love that movie
neutral · AI labelView post →The problem with movie people is that if you offhandedly mention that you haven’t seen a movie, the clock starts ticking on when you get to watch said movie. Anyway, I guess I’m watching My Cousin Vinny.
neutral · AI labelView post →The pink Le Clic Disc Camera from My Cousin Vinny is the unsung hero of the film.
neutral · AI labelView post →The hacking scene in the Matrix sequel is actually pretty accurate. “My Cousin Vinny” is almost entirely realistic as far as the courtroom scenes. A mobster reported that Joe Pesci generally plays a very accurate gangster when he plays a gangster in movies. Most of the time, he’s this weirdly dark violent loose cannon outlier, because they can’t just make every character a psychopath and have people enjoy watching the movie, but he’s the one that is playing the role accurately. When “King of…

positive · AI labelView post →Watching My Cousin Vinny for the first time since I was a little kid and whoo boy Marisa Tomei dominates this movie like she's the dang T-Rex in Jurassic Park
positive · AI labelView post →Fair point although I'm not sure there's a second movie like My Cousin Vinny.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched the 1992 movie My Cousin Vinny. Forgot just how funny this movie was 😂
positive · AI labelView post →The fact there is no Criterion Collection edition of My Cousin Vinny is how I know, for a fact, that criterion does not actually take film seriously.
positive · AI labelView post →My Cousin Vinny: what a film
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatched My Cousin Vinny for the first time in ages, good movie, but suffers from terminal early 90s music score, sounded like Just For Laughs Gags
neutral · AI labelView post →#5, Favorite movie: either JURASSIC PARK or MY COUSIN VINNY.
neutral · AI labelView post →Marisa Tomei looks as good in My Cousin Vinny as any woman ever has on film. up there with Isabella Rossellini in Death Becomes Her and Nicole Kidman in Eyes Wide Shut

neutral · AI labelView post →I am suddenly reminded of a Letterboxd review of MY COUSIN VINNY...
neutral · AI labelView post →Did anyone else have the very early childhood experience of watching My Cousin Vinny and then becoming very very terrified by the realization that innocent people can go to jail, and it happens all the time lol. It's true but it's funny to have that happen through that film
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight’s Film Selection🎬🎞️🎥: Going with some classic comedy tonight. “My Cousin Vinny” has an amazing performance by Joe Pesci that was totally one-upped by Marisa Tomei’s Oscar winning performance. It was also great to see the late Fred (Herman Munster) Gwynne one last time.
positive · AI labelView post →My Cousin Vinny is a Christmas movie
neutral · AI labelView post →"From the director of CLUE: THE MOVIE." My Cousin Vinny felt like a unicorn picture then, and still does now.
positive · AI labelView post →Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Wayne's World - Not all of it worked for me, but it was a fun film regardless. My Cousin Vinny - This hit a lot better for me and the scene with Moba Lisa taking the stand rocked A Few Good Men - Pacing issues and the initial Tom Cruise shtick aside, this was very solid.
positive · AI labelView post →It will never stop be amusing to me that by universal agreement, the most accurate depiction of the practice of law in film is My Cousin Vinny. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T24...

If you haven’t seen it, it’s where I break down the story structure of popular movies in a way typically reserved for “film school” movies. I’ve previously done The Dark Night, My Cousin Vinny, The Princess Bride, and more!

Kinda wish she coulda gone full “hyper competent casual sass” a la My Cousin Vinny *positraction*, but oh well. Honestly? My expectations were on the floor and I enjoyed the film!
neutral · AI labelView post →My Cousin Vinny was a perfectly cat t film. And the courtroom scenes are particularly amazing because it's Joe and a set of actors he can play against while building their characters.
