*MY COUSIN VINNY* FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION 

Who's your MVP in this movie? LETHAL WEAPON: ru-vid.com/group/PLQHhQlj8i5drIlwrH9yKm0mHdTbgf7aSo GOODFELLAS: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2IJkwElnPpM.html

Marissa Tomei rightfully got an Oscar for her role in this

Many lawyers have praised this movie for being the most accurate depiction of a courtroom procedure. Joe Pesci being hilarious as always and Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for her role in this, much deserved she killed it.

Vinny is the best, but Marisa Tomei steals the show.

2:22 If you're ever arrested, ask for a lawyer, give your ID details if obliged to, and otherwise STFU until your lawyer says otherwise. Particularly if you're innocent.

I like how Jen becomes a different field expert depending of the movie we are watching with her. Today it's Lawyer Jen.

Marisa. Top-notch acting performance. Her Oscar was well deserved. Thanks, Jen.

The judge was played by Fred Gwynne, who is famous for playing Herman Monster in The Munsters (1960’s show)

When arrested in the US, the ONLY word is "Lawyer."

On just being able to present all that automotive dialouge which btw was technically 100%: accurate as well coupled with the fact that this was Marissa's first movie role with mire than a couple lines, she really earned and deserved that oscar. Plus her comedic and dramatic timing.

the prison scene when they first meet pesci is one of the funniest for me⚛😀

Such a fun movie, Marisa Tomei certainly deserved her Oscar win. Ralph Macchio seriously doesn't age. He was about 30 here, yet could pass for early 20's.

I saw this movie on opening weekend with my New York City born-and-raised mother. Everything about this movie's portrayal of New York Italians is, in the words of Mona Lisa Vito, dead-on-balls accurate. Not only that, but everything portrayed in the coutroom is acchrate as well, including tbe automotive history from Lisa's testimony. My Cousin Vinny is one of those rare movies with a tight script of intersecting subplots, a perfect ensamble cast, and a powerful message about the danger of rushing to judgment. And 30 years later, it's still hilarious.

I love Miss Money Jenny doing the Long Island accent. Its up there with your villainous British accent

The one thing most people overlook in the movie is that cousin Vinny is also an expert in "general automotive knowledge". After Vinny looks at the photo how else would he have known that the tire marks did not match the defendants' car unless he was also an automotive expert?

There are 2 courtroom dramas to see, which are both directed by legendary director : Sidney Lumet. First , the 1957 -- 12 Angry Men starring Henry Fonda.. Second, the Verdict starring Paul Newman. Trust me ---- YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED 😉😀

2:22 "If I'm ever arrested I'm going to be very careful to say the right words." And those words better be *"I want a lawyer. I refuse to answer any questions without the advice of counsel."*

The concept of discovery goes way back in English common law, but for years it was practiced more in the breach. In the Perry Mason novels, written between 1933 and ~1970, by practicing attorney Erle Stanley Gardner, much of the mystery and drama was in the courtroom scenes. Each side was able to withhold vital evidence, hide away important witnesses under fake names in outlying suburbs or even hide their existence whatsoever until the climax of the story. I love these books (so unlike the tv series Perry Mason and the HBO recent series) and I learned a lot of legal procedures and jargon, but only as it had been practiced in the past. So when I first watched this movie, I was taken aback by the concept of discovery, as were most viewers. At the same time, I thought to myself "of course, how fair." Brady v. Maryland 1963 was the legal case which really strengthened the concept. Lawyers refer to a "Brady motion" to compel the other side to produce what they know. And since then, the concept itself has crept into the public's recognition. But I'm also not surprised Vinny didn't know.

The actor who played the judge also played Herman Munster

Joe Peshi is phenomenal as Cousin Vinny! This is a great movie! Marisa Tomei has a Oscar for her dynamic performance and The incomparable Fred Gwynne make the movie what it is. It is well worth your time!

The only words to say if you are ever arrested is ''I want a lawyer''.

I like that he not only proved they were innocent but helped actually solve the murder. Also, the cops and witnesses weren't trying to set them up.

This movie is viewed in many different law classes, especially for Vinny’s cross-examinations of the witnesses.

Ahh I love this movie! Such a fun classic comedy.

The detail I love to point out is that Vinny knew EVERYTHING when he saw those tire mark photos in court. He sent the Sherriff off to confirm it before Mona Lisa even took the stand. He gave her the limelight as a gift, to let her woop everyone in the court with her knowledge, and the last part being so he could "argue" with her, which they love to do.

One of those never gets old fun movies.

No Wai you never seen this?! Can't wait to watch this right now w/ ya! Babababa! Lets go! Loved your reaction especially to when Vinny first comes to prison to meet his nephew! So funny! "The two what?" "Da two uts!"

Great reaction Jen... A lot of people mention Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei and Ralph Macho....but Fred Gwynne as the judge was great too (in case many people didn't know he was Herman Munster on the original 'The Munsters' tv series and Officer Francis Muldoon on the original 'Car 54 Where Are You?' tv series, as well as he was Jud Crandall in the original 1989 'Stephen King's: Pet Semetery'...just putting that out there). ✌️

Man, every guy in the audience fell in love with Marisa Tomei after this performance (I know I did!). And Jen's laugh when Miss Vito had her courtroom moment at 25:31 was perfect 😅 Yeah, Vinny really should have let her help right from the start!

the right words are...I want a lawyer...then silence...lol...

Joe Pesci was actually 22 years older than Marisa Tomei in this film. She was so young that even Ralph Macchio was 3 years older than her, and she won an Oscar for her role.

I think one of the most telling things about MT’s performance is the fact that that after about three lines of dialogue Jen says “I love her.” She’s incredibly charismatic in every role, and maybe slightly under-appreciated, despite her Oscar win.

Now this is a happy surprise. Jen and My Cousin Vinny. My day just got way better!

This movie is one of the only modern movies I watch over and over, it is so awesome.

Great reaction, Jen! This was Marisa Tomei's first big movie. She has said that Joe Pesci helped her a lot with her character and her part in the movie. I always thought they were a great couple and wished they had done other movies together.

1992 was such a good year for movies! 🙂👍

This is when every man in America fell in love with Marisa Tomei. Latest generation gets hung up over Aunt May but this is where it all began. 😍

Yes Jen!!! Love this film. Marissa Tomei absolutely kills it! Dead on balls accurate.

Marisa Tomei's Oscar was for best supporting actress. Her Brooklyn accent used in the movie was completely fake but sounds incredible and is what makes her character stand out in every scene she's in.

“To Kill a Mockingbird” and “12 Angry Men” (the original) are two of the very best courtroom dramas ever filmed. You’ll love ‘em.

Have you watched "Twelve Angry Men" yet? Best courtroom (or more precisely, jury room) drama ever. For a courtroom movie that's not very accurate, but suited to the holiday season, try "Miracle on 34th Street."

not only is this the most accurate depiction of good lawyering in cinema history, it's also one of the best screenplays in the history of movies, also some of the best acting top to bottom in the history of cinema. some of the best casting and shot design and everything. this is a top 50 movie of all time.

I saw this in the cinema with my dad. It's the only time my father and I went to the cinema just the two of us so it has a very special place in my heart for that reason alone, then of course it's an excellent film; hilarious comedy, excellent courtroom film, fantastic acting all round (I think Marisa Tomei 100% deserved the Oscar). It makes me really happy to see people come to it and discover what a great film this is.

I love Vinnie's line " I got no more use for dis guy!"

Absolutely love this movie. Butt ... I'm a huge Marissa tomei fan. 😂

More goodness from Jen, this time with added Pesci, Ralph, and Marisa. Wooh!

Jen: I don't see how things could get any worse for him. Vinnie tosses a bag out of the trunk, into the mud. Jen: Is... is that his suit? Yes, yes it is. 😄🤣

😎👍 The other two great courtroom farces that immediately come to mind are "And Justice For All" (1979) with Al Pacino and "Liar Liar" (1997) with Jim Carrey.

Jeeeez, this is going to be a treat!

2:25 If you ever get arrested, the correct amount of words to say to the police is '4': "I want my lawyer." Beyond that - until AND UNLESS your attorney is in the room with you - you don't say *anything*...

This is one of the best comedies. Been watching this movie for 25 years.

Marisa Tomei was a soap actress on the Guiding Light which ran on CBS in the 80s. Julienne Moore was on the same soap with Meg Ryan. . Tomei was also a stage actress.. I saw this movie with my mom who loved her on the soap.and was a fan...this is one of my favorites. Tomei skillfully earned her Oscar nomination and went on to do more feature films..

Jen! The biggest payoff for me was when Lisa was confronted about her qualifications and shot back an answer only the best mechanic would know. I throw my fist in the air every time ... YEAH!

"A Time to Kill" is a great courtroom drama

Such a classic Jen hun. You'll love it. And true, many law schools use scenes from this as an aid to teaching courtroom procedure and annunciating argument, rebuttal and debate.

Marissa Tomei was the star of the show. She won the case for Vinny, but boy; Joe Pesci gave a zanny performance. ‘It’s a trick question!’ - At that point she knows that she has it in the bag! It’s as if to say ‘is that the best you’ve got?’ She was given the hardest question possible and she nailed it. At that point everybody, including us - The audience knows that she is about to bring the courthouse down (figuratively speaking) She deserved two Oscars for this performance. One of my favorite scenes of all time. Marissa Tomei truly a great talent.

At first when I saw the title, I thought, Jen hasn't seen this one yet?? I greatly love this movie and the backstory that it is the most accurate depiction of courtroom, plus everyone especially Marissa and Joe doing such great acting work in this amazing classic. I don't think it would have worked with different actors in it. There is chemistry between Marissa and Joe. The dialogue and script is pure genius, such as the jail scene and misunderstandings. This one seems to get me emotionally bring tear of joy and happiness when watching or watching along first watches. This reaction may be one of the most perfect Christmas presents to date! Thank You!

I’m needed a new reaction to this movie. I’m tired and physically exhausted from work. I need a smile on my face.

One of the funniest movies ever. I think everyone in the country had a crush on Marisa Tomei after this movie was released. She totally deserved the Oscar. For a little while after this film's success, there was talk of the sequel. Then Fred Gwynn died and nothing ever came of it.

Jen impersonating Marisa is the best! 😍😈🤣

Always liked Marissa Tomei, but this is the film I fell in love with her. The confusion with the different accents reminds me of when I went into the Navy. Us southern boys mixed in with those from NY, MA, and other northern parts, liked to rib each other. The Sheriff was Bruce McGill, aka: D-Day from "Animal House" and is one of my favorite actors.

Yes Jen! and the right words when you are arrested are "I wish to speak to my lawyer" never say ANYTHING else to the police.

To poor Vinny's credit, the NY bar is one of the toughest in the country. e: Here's the competition Marisa Tomei faced in 1993. Judy Davis in Husbands and Wives, Joan Plowright in Enchanted April, Vanessa Redgrave in Howards End, and Miranda Richardson in Damage. Vanessa Redgrave would likely walk away with the Oscar today, in my opinion. But 1993 was a different time. Not many Oscars had been awarded for comedic roles back then, and it was kind of a Golden Age, as was seen with Kevin Kline's Oscar win in A Fish Called Wanda. But, the awards have become somewhat more...conservative over the years. They usually go to the safe picture.

One of the many things I love about this film (several of which are Marisa Tomei) is that the locals aren't stereotypically corrupt or malicious as you might think at first.

"Anatomy of a Murder" is the grandaddy of all courtroom movies. James Stewart leads a kick ass cast in an unusually frank depiction (especially for the late '50s) of a rape and murder case that was based on real events. It's not short, but the pace really lets you marinate in things. It won all sorts of awards when it was new. I might just watch it right now. 😄 As for the Oscars, Supporting Actor awards were often given to frightfully old people who have never been awarded before and might die soon or new up-and-comers so the Academy members can prove their with-it-ness to a public that has become increasingly suspicious of how out of touch they are with popular tastes. Pesci had won his Best Supporting award a couple years before for "Goodfellas" and the Academy seems to like spreading the love - unless they don't. You can't set your watch to it, but if someone won an award one year, they probably won't win anything else for a bit - usually, there are exceptions but not for a guy like Joe Pesci. Also, around the time "My Cousin Vinny" came out I remember the Academy came in for a fair bit of criticism for being a bit snooty, only awarding 'serious' films and not recognizing comedies or genre films at all. Serious actors in comedies sometimes got a nod, like John Gielgud in "Arthur" but that tended to be interpreted as a 'career Oscar' since he was getting on a bit and who knew when the great man would be in a position to be nominated again? Something seemed to change in the '80s when Kevin Kline won Best Supporting for "A Fish Called Wanda" - nobody doubted he was great in the movie but it was kinda weird that he won an Oscar for that, although I don't remember anybody getting mad about it. Then the next year Jack Palance won Best Supporting for "City Slickers" - the feeling was that he was crazy old and the award was for his whole body of work, but nobody denied he was great in the movie. Then when a balls-to-the-wall horror film like "Silence of the Lambs" swept all the big awards the same year I remember a few old people in the industry lamenting that the right sort of movies weren't winning Oscars any more - Oscar winners weren't meant to be entertaining, they were supposed to be more like broccoli. As I said, it isn't an exact science - the Academy's gonna do whatever the hell it wants - but when Marisa Tomei won for "My Cousin Vinny" the Academy voters could tick both the hot, up-and-coming performer box and the popular comedy box in one go. If all this seems unrealistically calculated, there have been reams of articles printed up over the decades about how Oscar voters decide what to vote for that indicate that these considerations are in at least some of the voters' heads when they do their thing. It's a bit weird.

At darts so not able to watch rn but this reaction is truly one of my favourites and I'm so grateful you reacted to this Jen you truly are the best 🙌🥂

Thanks, Jen, for another great reaction to a great movie!

She won a best supporting actress for this role.

I hear Jen Murray laughing all the way out here in AZ. I know you enjoyed it, the cast and the performances were outstanding! Super Thanks!

Marrisa Tomei stole the show in this movie.

The right words to say are "Lawyer!" 😆

"The Young Philadelphians" from 1959 with Paul Newman, Robert Vaughn and Brian Keith has a very good courtroom conclusion. A bit of a melodrama in the beginning the cast includes some 1950s & 1960s TV staples.

All of the actors played their roles well in this film. Pesci was great, as was the beautiful Marissa Tomei. 👍💯

Such an excellent movie. An all-time great comedy that seems to surprise almost everyone on their first viewing.

The Rainmaker is even better with the accuracy of the courtroom.

Love This Movie. I Love How Jen Loves This Movie. Love This Channel

Looking forward too seeing this Jen . The scenes between the judge and vinny are brilliant.

Good Job Jen! This is definitely a classic! You're correct about the accuracy of lawyers that say this movie is used to educate new law school students on how to respond to real courtroom ede

Marisa won for Best Supporting Actress. It was a surprise win because it came out of a comedy movie, but her character was fantastic, and she was pretty cute too. Best Actor in 92 went to Al Pacino in “Scent of a woman”. Hoo Ah.

It's great revisiting this classic and many others here Jen. Really enjoying the Star Trek Next Generation reactions too.

Jen! Your Marisa Tomei accent is getting there. Sounds pretty cool. I really like this movie a lot. So well done. Another courtroom movie is Paul Newman in The Verdict. It’s pretty good.

I love this movie. As a car guy (I definitely don't know as much as Lisa did) it's a great scene where she explains the posi-trac but it's just a great movie in general.

oh wow JEN I never saw you giggle so much at the crazy misunderstanding when they charged him, YOU would really like the famous Abbott & Costello comedy routine- WHO's on First, its an amazing skit that actually has been included in the BASEBALL hall of fame.

A great courtroom drama is Twelve Angry Men. One of the greats. Great story and exceptional acting. A must see. You will enjoy it.

She went from this to the latest Aunt May. Woo!

"If I'm ever arrested, I'm gonna be sure to say the right words." Those words should be, I will not speak to you until I have a lawyer.

It’s a delightful movie. Marisa Tomei didn’t just steal the picture, she threw a brick through the studio window, dragged the picture out and took it home to make mad passionate love to it.

Hi Jen hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

I adore Marisa Tomei's performance. She is so perfect and memorable, but the Oscar competition for that year for Best Supporting Actress was with Judy Davis for her scorching performance in HUSBANDS AND WIVES, an absolutely brilliant film you should watch as well.

"Yah get dat? Da whole store got da flu."

I met Ralph Macchio back in July at a convention and he was such a cool person to meet and talk to. The actor who plays the Judge was famous for his tv show Herman Munster from The Munsters

Of all the Grandpa Wheeze laughs Jen has ever done, the one at 5:21 may have been the wheeziest. 😄

Beautiful reaction, Jen. Thank you.

remember watching this in high school as part of law class and loved each bit of it! great review jen!

How did “Lisa win the trail?” She took the photos unaware of the significance of them, it was Vinny who dismissed the eyewitness testimony, it’s was Vinny who saw the tire tracks as key evidence. He knew all the answers Lisa would give before hand because he knew all the information himself. That’s how he could give the sheriff ALL the information he needed to look for the real perpetrators even BEFORE Lisa took the stand. Vinny won the case, but Lisa helped.

Yes. If you are ever arrested, be very careful to say the right words. Those words are "I want a lawyer." Those are the only words.

My MVP is the witness that correctly counted all the bushes and trees thru his dirty window

18:04 "Buddy...buddy" " I'm not your friend...pal" "I'm not your pal ...buddy"😂

This is such a sweet movie, as was your reaction. 😊

Fun one, Jen! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
