My Cousin Vinny	comment	My Cousin Vinny is a 1992 legal comedy film directed by Jonathan Lynn, written by Dale Launer, starring Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei, Ralph Macchio, Mitchell Whitfield, and Fred Gwynne.Two college kids from New York, Bill Gambini (Macchio) and Stan Rothenstein (Whitfield), are driving through Alabama when they are arrested for the armed robbery of a convenience store and the shooting of its clerk — due to a misunderstanding for why they were being questioned (Bill forgot to pay for a can of tuna while at the store and thinks he's being arrested for shoplifting), Bill accidentally "confesses" to the crime and the two are put on trial for first-degree murder and accessory. Fortunately Bill has an attorney in the family, his cousin Vinny (Pesci), and Vinny soon comes down to Alabama with his argumentative fiancÃ©e Mona Lisa Vito (Tomei) to help the boys clear their names. Hilarity Ensues.The film is famous for being extremely accurate on the legal side. Jonathan Lynn studied college law and wanted the film to be realistic in its depiction of proceedings. Lawyers and judges have widely praised the film not just for doing a good job showing what the trial process is actually like, but also its attention to smaller details that aren't focused on, such as how Vinny effectively uses cross-examination to discredit eyewitnesses and demonstrate they aren't reliable as solid evidence. Law professors have been known to show the film to their classes to discuss and dissect the film and demonstrate what to do and what not to do in a trial. When the film is often mentioned alongside To Kill a Mockingbird as one of the best legal films, you know it's doing something right.The film is also notable for not leaning on Deep South stereotypes — the residents of the small Alabama town are shown to be folksy but definitely not stupid, and are overall decent and sensible folk. And unlike most legal films and television shows, the prosecutor and the judge are not portrayed as antagonists; the prosecutor is a reasonable professional who sincerely believes he is bringing two murderers to justice and has no animosity with Vinny nor Vinny with him, and while the judge dislikes Vinny it's not without merit and he doesn't let his opinion of Vinny influence his moderation of the trial proceedings (with one single exception, which exists primarily for Rule of Drama). The humor is derived from its Fish out of Water premise with the proud New Yorker Vinny having to adjust to temporarily living in a southern town, since of course New York and Alabama are two very different places with very different people and cultures. It's also soon revealed that while he is a lawyer, it took him six tries to clear the bar exam and this is his first actual trial case, and there's a lot of pressure on him since his cousin's life is on the line.Also won Marisa Tomei an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in what's considered to be one of the biggest upsets in Oscar history, though that may simply be because people weren't expecting the award to go to a comedy movie. Also led to many years of false rumors that the presenter, Jack Palance had accidentally read out the wrong name and the Academy just went with it. note The infamous Best Picture mix-up between La La Land and Moonlight (2016) in 2017 showed that if that had actually happened, the Oscars would immediately correct it on stage.In 2017, crime novelist Richard Kelter began a novel sequel series titled Back to Brooklyn. Vinny deals with his and Lisa's family, and his friend Judge Malloy suggests he get experience by becoming an assigned counsel (the attorney you are assigned for free if you can't afford one). The next three books in the series are My Cousin Vinny (2018), Wing and a Prayer: How They Met (2019), and A Very Vinny Christmas Story (2020).

My Cousin Vinny / int_10dcbe05	comment	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Vinny and Lisa spend almost every waking moment arguing with one another, but it's the cornerstone of their characters and relationship. An argument about a dripping tap rapidly becomes foreplay and the case is won when Vinny puts a furious Lisa in the witness stand to argue against Vinny's own defence strategy in public.

He also objects to Trotter bringing in the FBI investigator with last minute notice, citing that he should've been given sufficient attention beforehand to cross examine him, only for the Judge to overrule him.

My Cousin Vinny / int_1501e2dd	comment	Hero Antagonist: The prosecuting attorney is actually a really nice, honest servant of the people. He's very friendly with Vinny and even offers his cabin for Vinny and Lisa to stay in. He's also revealed to have left a lucrative private practice because he didn't like defending criminals. He's prosecuting Stan and Bill because the evidence suggests that they're guilty, and he immediately dismisses the charges when Vinny proves that they're not. The Judge butts heads with Vinny on a number of occasions, but he's just trying to get him to follow standard court procedures and has good reason to be annoyed with Vinny's unprofessional behavior. He's completely and professionally impartialnote albeit with one serious exception otherwise.

The way they phrase their answers is taken out of context as a murder confession, and is used against them at trial. (This scene is often used by real lawyers as an example of why suspects should never, ever speak to the police without an attorney present, even if everyone means well).

My Cousin Vinny / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: This film is loaded with them, to the point that every tiny detail might be one, so you have to pay attention! The crane shot of the boys pulling calmly out of the Sac o' Suds, not leaving tire tracks. Hearing about how long grits have to boil— with the detail that these aren't the instant grits that you may be familiar with, but which no self-respecting Southerner would use. These are old-fashioned hominy grits. Vinny's relationship with Judge Malloy in Brooklyn. Vinny mentioning that Lisa knows everything about cars. Vinny's interview montage of the prosecution's witnesses shows each time he zeros in on the pertinent detail. Vinny and Lisa's overly elaborate argument as to whether Lisa failed to turn off a faucet completely or if it was just broken. Lisa's constant picture-snapping, and hence her photograph of the tire-marks outside the crime scene left by the murderer's car as it fled the scene. One tire spinning, the other tire motionless, when Vinny's car gets stuck in the mud. When Vinny and Trotter are discussing the case, Trotter says he has a pretty good one, but he'd like to have the murder weapon. Later, Sheriff Farley, after following up on a "hunch," testifies that the gun with the same caliber bullet used in the murder was found with the actual killers that were arrested in Georgia. Several of these can also qualify as a Chekhov's Gag.

My Cousin Vinny / int_3322dd48	type	Hollywood Law
My Cousin Vinny / int_3322dd48	comment	Hollywood Law: While this film is for the most part very accurate when it comes to its depiction of the legal process (won an award for it, in fact), there are a few minor embellishments for the sake of narrative convenience: As the film opens, Stan remarks that the minimum legal age for execution in Alabama is ten. In fact, there was no minimum legal age for execution in Alabama until 2005, when the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed the execution of felons who were juveniles at the time of their offense. (In fairness, these are two kids with no legal background discussing the laws of a state they've never been to before.) Vinny is licensed to practice law only in the state of New York. In order for him to be able to act as a lawyer in Alabama, a lawyer who is licensed to practice in Alabama would need to file a motion (pro hac vice, absurdly standard practice) and be a part of his legal team. But if this happened, there would be no movie, as that lawyer would know what he was doing and likely would have gotten the weak case thrown out. The first scene with Judge Haller is a meeting with Vinny in his chambers about getting an out-of-state lawyer approved, but as stated above, your law school and experience is not relevant...you are not licensed in that state and therefore you need to work with one who is. Judge Haller had no legitimate reason to overrule Vinny's objection to Wilbur's testimony. While he can theoretically overrule it, the verdict would almost certainly have been overturned by a higher court simply for this reason, as this shows extreme prejudice against the defendants. Although likely staged this way for humorous effect, real police lineups do not have people with wide discrepancies between height, weight, build, and facial features. They are made up of the suspect(s) and a couple of volunteers who look similar to the suspect in height, weight, build, skin color, hair color, and general facial features, so that when an identification is made, if it is the actual suspect, they are chosen because they are truly recognized by the witness(es). Moreover, Stan and Bill would not be placed in the same lineup, as this increases the probability of a false positive identification. This is ultimately played realistically since the lineup is never mentioned at the trial. Either the judge didn't allow it or Trotter, realizing how bad it was, didn't even try to use it as evidence. When Bill and Stan get arrested, they're under the impression that they're in jail for shoplifting until Bill figures it out during the confession. Due to the Writ of Habeas Corpus, it's nearly impossible for someone in custody to go that long without being told what he has been arrested for. The black lady on the jury (seen when Trotter talks of "our ancestors from England") also serves Vinny in the cafÃ© during the lunch recess before his presentation of evidence. If she's on the jury, she would not have been allowed to leave the court to work, and least of all to serve the defense attorney. When the prosecutor asks Mona for the second time whether she had ever worked as a mechanic, she responds by nodding. A judge would not let that pass. He would tell her to answer out loud, for the record and for the jury to hear. The public defender tries to prove that one of the witnesses has poor eyesight by challenging him to tell him Stan and Billy's eye color from across the room. While not against the rules, it is generally a bad idea to ask open-ended questions of this sort, due to the risk of it backfiring and the witness answering correctly (as happens here).note This sort of outcome is precisely why an unspoken law amongst real-life lawyers is: "don't ask questions you don't already know the answer to." Beforehand, Stan even cites this as a reason not to go with Vinny as an attorney. Vinny himself does do this later on in the trial, but gets away with it. It is justified considering Vinny's inexperience, but he had a Plan B available if Lisa refused to testify or was disallowed as an expert witness: given that Vinny is an experienced auto mechanic himself, the rules of court would have allowed himself to take the stand as an expert witness, since he had no way of knowing that his own general knowledge of American automobiles would be relevant to the case. Vinny would not be allowed to represent both Billy and Stan. In any criminal case with multiple defendants, either one could at any point turn state's evidence and testify against the other, thus creating a conflict of interest if they had the same attorney. Also, one of the most common inaccuracies in legal movies is kept here...the ability for lawyers to arbitrarily leave their desk and walk around in "the well"...the area that contains the stand, the judge's bench, and the jury box. In the American court system, a lawyer is not allowed to do many of the things seen in these legal movies (e.g. walking around, approaching the stand, talking face-to-face to the jury) without explicit approval from the judge. If they do not get that permission, the bailiff will tackle them the instant they step into the well. This rule is ignored in fiction, including here, for the sake of flow, drama, and filmmaking (it is far easier and more compelling to frame a shot with both the lawyer and another person in it instead of cutting to them talking to each other across the room). Note that Trotter, while delivering his opening address, maintains a respectful distance from the jury. In a notable aversion, nether Bill nor Stan testifies at their trial. While commonplace in movies and on TV, in real life it is generally seen as a bad idea for the accused to take the stand at a murder trial, and in most cases a good defense attorney will advise against it.

There is No Antagonist and everyone conducts the trial in good faith. The witnesses all tell the truth as they know it, and when they realize they've made a mistake, they are quick to admit it. Ditto the judge and prosecutor, to the point that the prosecutor drops all charges when it becomes apparent that the boys are innocent.

Vinny and Mona Lisa are brash and often bicker with each other, but also have a lot of passion in their relationship, while Bill himself has near-absolute faith his cousin can win their case, despite his lack of legal experience, because he is family and is "the quintessential Gambini" who will argue you to death.

They think they've just been hauled in for accidentally swiping a can of tuna, so they are happy to talk with the police and try to explain things. This gets them charged with murder, because Stan's confused "I shot the clerk?!" is interpreted as a straightforward admission of guilt, and is later used at the preliminary hearing as evidence to go to trial. This exact scenario is why all lawyers say to never talk to law enforcement without your lawyer present, even if everyone involved is working in good faith and trying to get to justice.

My Cousin Vinny / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
My Cousin Vinny / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: As a courtroom comedy that tries to be accurate on the legal side, this is a given: Making statements to police officers without your lawyer present can easily get you charged with a crime, though in their defense, the guys thought they were discussing a shoplifting charge - a misdemeanor at worst. Vinny lies about his history as an attorney (or lack thereof) to Judge Haller. Of course, Vinny, lacking any real experience, would never think he would contact the State of New York to review his history. Wrong, as after his terrible first day, he ends up getting in trouble for lying. Vinny's antics in the courtroom get him found in contempt of court, and send him directly to jail. Three times. Mona Lisa mentions that having to bail Vinny out of jail is wiping out their budget. Since Bill and Stan can only be convicted if the prosecution can prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, Vinny's strategy mostly consists of discrediting all of the prosecution's witnesses and causing the jury to doubt the state's case. Vinny comes up with a reasonable objection to the judge, pointing out that he's had no time to interview this surprise witness or review the evidence that will be presented, and wants it thrown out. The judge admits he's right, but overrules Vinny anyway. Any lawyer can tell you that not every judge is fair and unbiased and can easily have a case hit a brick wall if the judge is an asshole and even otherwise fair judges have their limits when dealing with someone who has regularly shown a disregard for the trial procedure as Vinny has. Any lawyer will tell you to be absolutely thorough in vetting and preparing a witness for expert testimony because it can backfire badly. If the opposing counsel can find a way to discredit your expert's argument, they may have to admit this on the stand and thus strengthening their case against you. This is exactly what happens with Wilbur after Lisa's testimony.

After the case is over and he no longer has to worry about any of that, he congratulates Vinny on his ability and gives him a warm send-off. Stan. He's snarky, pessimistic and uptight (though that's justified, given he and Bill are charged with murder). Aside from that, he's an everyman who is generally good friends with Bill, even demonstrates a degree of loyalty towards him. Both Vinny and Lisa (especially Vinny) come across as clueless, squabbling, obnoxious city folk who look down at the locals, but are in fact very intelligent, loving, and polite when interacting with most people.

My Cousin Vinny / int_60ea2a89	comment	Starter Villain: Downplayed in that the murder case is a relatively easy one with inept police practices, basic legal procedures like evidence disclosure, and obviously unreliable witnesses that an experienced defense attorney could have dealt with quickly. However, for Vinny, it is a challenge for a beginner like him who had to take the bar exam six times with he and his girlfriend's in depth knowledge of American automobiles being their special edge in that case. Vinny did have an opportunity to get the case thrown out at the preliminary hearing, and likely could have gotten the charges dropped, but due to his major inexperience, he asks absolutely no questions. He excuses it by saying that since a bunch of New Yorkers killed a fellow rural Alabamian, there was no way they would let them get away without a trial.

It's even made explicit in Vinny and Lisa's final conversation, where she makes him admit that having to say "Thank you" to someone who helped is not exactly a big deal.

Vinny's objection is, as Haller notes, lucid and well thought out, as well as correct. Prosecutors aren't allowed surprises period. By the letter of the law, the case should have been held over for continuance until Vinny was able to examine Wilbur's testimony and contact his own expert. Not doing so opened the case up to a reversal on appeal had Vinny's clients been convicted. Though it should be noted that this paves the way for Vinny to introduce his own surprise witness, Lisa, who conclusively wins the case for him.

Anyone who works as a defense lawyer will tell you that this is Truth in Television, as they know referring to a victim by name will make the jury more likely to sympathize with their death and find the defendant guilty. Tellingly, Vinny only refers to Jimmy by name after he has proven that Bill and Stan's car did not leave the tire marks in the store parking lot and Sheriff Farley has testified that two other men fitting their descriptions were found with the same weapon used to commit the murder. We do see that people knew and liked the victim; a very distraught lady comes in while they're photographing the body, saying "Oh my God, who would do such a thing!"

Even worse, the judge instructs the jury to disregard everything he said except "thank you."

Afterwards, he falls asleep in court and swears during his opening statement. Vinny tries to act clever and sneaky in order to get access to Trotter's case files, only for Trotter to freely give them to Vinny. Lisa - who never even went to law school - has to explain to Vinny that Trotter was required to do this. Gibbons gets one in the form of his spectacularly botched questioning of Mr. Tipton.

In order for him to be able to act as a lawyer in Alabama, a lawyer who is licensed to practice in Alabama would need to file a motion (pro hac vice, absurdly standard practice) and be a part of his legal team. But if this happened, there would be no movie, as that lawyer would know what he was doing and likely would have gotten the weak case thrown out. The first scene with Judge Haller is a meeting with Vinny in his chambers about getting an out-of-state lawyer approved, but as stated above, your law school and experience is not relevant...you are not licensed in that state and therefore you need to work with one who is.

The prosecution attorney loans them his cabin in the woods, but the sounds of animals keep them awake. It gets the point where the third time he's held in contempt of court, he refuses to let Lisa bail him out, hoping to finally get some rest.

The look on his face, after Lisa's testimony that the boys' car couldn't have been the getaway vehicle, George Wilbur's confirmation of such, and Sheriff Farley's report of a similar car with the right abilities (with look-a-like drivers, and the murder weapon), shows him looking as if about to say, "Mr. Trotter, if you don't dismiss the charges, I will." The prosecutor himself is trying to have Stan and Bill locked up, but only because he truly believes they are guilty, with all the damning evidence. When his case is completely eroded, he moves to dismiss all charges. He also invites Vinny to spend time in his cabin. The sheriff believes the boys are guilty, but agrees to check out a hunch on Vinny's behalf, and seems quite pleased when it results in the real culprits being caught.

My Cousin Vinny / int_e0aed924	type	No Antagonist
My Cousin Vinny / int_e0aed924	comment	No Antagonist: The judge can be antagonistic towards Vinny (mostly because Vinny keeps violating court procedure), but there's certainly no true villain in the movie. Everyone, including the judge and prosecutor, is working for justice according to the best information they have. When it becomes clear the boys are innocent, the prosecutor immediately drops the charges. Of course there are the people who really killed the clerk and are letting two innocents take the fall but they don't appear in person.

Right after they leave, the clerk is murdered and Bill and Stan are taken to the police station, charged with shooting the clerk. They think it's for shoplifting the tuna can, and comment on how the punishment is a little excessive.

Judge Haller then asks if they knew each other, and Vinny responds that Lisa is his fiancÃ©e. Haller then looks directly into the camera when he snarks, "Well, that would certainly explain the hostility."

My Cousin Vinny / int_e9544bad	comment	Vinny did have an opportunity to get the case thrown out at the preliminary hearing, and likely could have gotten the charges dropped, but due to his major inexperience, he asks absolutely no questions. He excuses it by saying that since a bunch of New Yorkers killed a fellow rural Alabamian, there was no way they would let them get away without a trial.

My Cousin Vinny / int_fa83658b	comment	Surprise Witness: Lisa, who was called in to rebut the Prosecutor's Surprise Witness, Mr. Wilbur. In the case of Wilbur, the movie takes pains to show just why surprise witnesses aren't actually allowed in real life, no matter how fun and dramatic they are in the movies. The prosecution springs Wilbur on Vinny, and he doesn't have an appropriate opportunity to examine the testimony and accompanying evidence and prepare a compelling response. He basically gets a lunch break to come up with an argument and a cross-examination, and while he does OK, considering the circumstances, it's really not enough time. There's a really good reason both sides in a trial are compelled to turn over evidence and witness lists ahead of time.

My Cousin Vinny / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: The film's depiction of the legal process is very accurate. In fact, many law schools show scenes from it to teach proper court procedure. The director Jonathan Lynn has a law degree and insisted the courtroom scenes be how real cases are presented. In addition, the writer Dale Launer spent months interviewing many Southern judges and lawyers for research. The movie is ranked #3 by the American Bar Association's ranking of 25 greatest legal movies (just behind To Kill a Mockingbird and 12 Angry Men, respectively). Even a court reporter is present, who sits right behind the prosecutor during several scenes scribbling on a flip-up notepad and looking very excited.
