*My Cousin Vinny* HAD ME CRACKING UP 

Marisa Tomei won Best Supporting Actress in this film.

I remember watching the judge in the sixties playing Herman Munster on the hit tv show, The Munsters. Such an underrated romantic, legal comedy.

The Judge is Herman Munster, from The Munsters.

When Vinny figured out the tire marks were a 1963 Pontiac Tempest and asked the sheriff to trace what he gave him, he knew he had won the case. He needed Mona Lisa to testify because he couldn't and confirm what he already knew.

Fred Gwynne, who played the judge, was best known for playing Herman Munster in the original The Munsters series. He also had a main role in the series Car 54 where are you? He also played the old man in the original Pet Semetery.

Loved the movie when it came out, loved watching your reaction!

One of the best movies from the 90s! Marisa Tomei Knocked it out of the park!! That's why she won the Oscar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As ridiculous as this movie can get, it's held up by real-life lawyers as the most accurate portrayal of criminal court procedure in film!

Anybody mention Herman Munster, Marisa Tomei winning an Oscar, what grits are, “yutes”, Joe Pesci being able to sleep in jail, or this being an excellent court room and legal representation? No? Ok.

You never had grits? Try some cheese grits with some conecuh sausage and a couple of fried eggs. Or shrimp and grits. Dee-lish!

Thanks!

It's as if the editor intentionally cut off all the funniest bits... and your reaction to said bits. As each moment approached, I was like, "She's gonna laugh her ass off at this..." and then BAM... nothing... cut.

Marisa Tomei deserves an oscar for that jumpsuit.

If you have never seen Oscar I recommend checking it out. It stars Sylvester Stallone and Marisa Tomei plays his daughter. One of the few comedies Sylvester ever did.

Fun reaction for a fun film...

I think a lot of reactors miss that Vinnie finally decides to sleep in the jail, but because it is noisy - a continuous level of noise - like in Brooklyn, he finally gets a good night sleep.

Yep. This movie confirmed, even in my early days, that I had, have and will probably always crush over Marisa Tomei

"What is a yute?" Is a line I quote with my Dad all the time! Such an outstanding movie, glad Vkunia enjoyed it 😊

You're legally required to give Marisa Tomei more praise than this

I love that the judge, prosecutor, and sheriff are all just trying to do their jobs and have legitimate reasons to be skeptical about Vinnie, even if they are a bit uncharitable. It’s a nice touch that the prosecutor was sick of getting guilty people off the hook so he switched from defense to prosecution.

Still in love with Marisa. Strangest of all, Joe Pesci was a singer, and took up acting just until his music career took off. He's childhood friends with Frankie Vallie and members of the Four Seasons, and he introduced them to each other. After this movie, Joe released an album, but he does the entire album in character as Vinny. I'm not making this up.

The judge is played by Fred Gwynne who played Herman Munster in The Munsters tv show. He was also in Pet Sematary. Marissa Tomei was also in a cute movie called *Oscar* with Sylvester Stallone and Tim Curry.

“Please get the lunch option. I want to see what it is.” THAT was the funniest thing I’ve ever heard someone say while reacting to this movie 😆

Joe Pesci can play anything from screwball comedy to seriously frightening gangsters - one of the great actors of our time

One of the things I really like about this movie is that it takes a situation where two cultures kind of collide (rural South and urban North), with a lot of potential for misunderstanding. But the movie really shows that all the people who count are taking the situation seriously and trying to do the right thing. In the end, that's what really matters. Good-hearted people with integrity come in all cultures and walks of life.

1. Judge would absolutely roast you for not wearing a suit. I had a judge roast me because he felt my belt color didn't match my suit properly. 2. There is no requirement to learn trial procedure in law school beyond writing briefs. There is also no requirement on bar exams to show you know the particular court's procedures because every court is a little different. P.S. Marisa Tomei, deservedly, won the Best Supporting Actress for her performance

Such a tight script. Anyone thats ever wanted to learn how to write a film script can just study this movie. Every moment in the film contributes to the characters and the plot in a succinct and meaningful way. Its great that you picked up on that. Classic comedy.

Hi Vicky!🙂I really needed a good comedy today, thank you!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽That is a young Marisa Tomei who you may no better as Aunt May from Spider-Man. The judge is Fred Gwynne, who was Herman Munster from the 60's TV sitcom "The Munsters". He played a character that looked similar to the Frankenstein Monster. The prosecuter, Lane Smith is probably best known as Perry White from the 90's TV series "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman". GREAT reactions to this unique comedy, Vicky!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

"No self-respecting Southerner uses instant grits." An accurate statement.

Marisa Tomei is so talented and incredibly funny.

Marisa Tomei other wise known as Aunt May is a spectacular actress . Loved her in everything !!!!!!!!

"Why would you have a magician at a wedding?" I enjoy hearing new perspectives.

I thought it was like a "swimming pool with chickens" lmao you just made my day 😂 love your reactions ♡

Am I the only one who wishes Joe Pesci played Uncle Ben in the MCU based solely on this movie and his awesome chemistry with Marisa Tomei

This is one of those movies that I saw so many times as a kid that I assumed it was just nostalgia and never realised how good it was until I watched it a couple of years back.

Absolutely hilarious. For a court drama movie...in which you know the ending, the replay value of this is insane to me. ⚖

This is a great film to rewatch, it's so entertaining. Marissa Tomei won an Oscar for her performance in this movie. I never heard or knew what grits were when I watched this but now seek out shrimp and grits in various forms whenever I'm down south. Cheesy grits are awesome too.

"How was he dead asleep during that, what?" Two reasons: 1. The noise of the prison is almost like a constant white noise rather than the sudden noises Vinny kept experiencing that woke him out of a dead sleep, and 2. Vinny is from New York, at a time when it was pretty crime-ridden. He's used to sirens and people fighting in the streets more than owls and train whistle sounds - it's like he's home XD.

My wife and I still quote this movie every day 😂

Aw you cut out "my biological clock is ticking like this". The best line of the movie. Good reaction.

This is actually shown in some law schools as some of the best on-screen portrayals of actual courtroom procedure.

I feel like most people were introduced to Joe Pesci through one of the mob movies he was in. I never liked mob movies, so I only knew him from comedic roles until I was much older. "My Cousin Vinny," "The Super," and "Home Alone" 1&2 were the ones I knew Joe Pesci from. This movie is my favorite thing I've ever seen him in. It's so cleverly written and quotable.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Marisa Tomei as Mona Lisa Vito is right up there with Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday and John Wayne as "The Quiet Man" or Carey Grant as "Father Goose".

It's a minor part of the movie but the scene with the guy eating a chicken wing always gives me a chuckle and brings back a funny memory. Many years ago the team I worked with at Kodak all went out to lunch. We ordered buffalo wings as an appetizer. One of my teammates took 5 or 6 legs, laid them out on slice of bread, slapped on another slice of bread and began to eat it like a sandwich. We were all wondering about the bones because he just kept chowing down. 😂and then when he was completing done he simply spit them out one by one. I can't say I've ever seen anything like that since.

Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for best supporting actor for this role and has been amazing in anything she's been in since, including her role as Aunt May in Tom Holland's Spiderman movies. Glad you got see it, when I was growing up we used to say you're not a real New Yorker if you haven't seen My Cousin Vinny and A Bronx Tale

This one is a family favorite. My wife and I quote it all the time. In our house, expect to get asked "how can you be sooo suurre?"

The scene in the jail where Vinny sounded like "Bubba" was soooooo friggin hilarious, my favorite scene of the movie 😂😂😂

I think everyone in the country fell in love with Marisa Tomei when this movie was released. It's too bad she didn't become a bigger star. The deer hunting scene was awesome. I like how she wore a completely different outfit for every scene she was in. Can you imagine what the kids of Vincent Laguardia Gambini and Mona Lisa Vito are going to be like? You said you thought the judge looked familiar- he was played by Fred Gwynne, most famous for playing Herman Munster in the 60s tv show The Munsters. He's been in many shows and movies since then.

I don't know if someone already mentioned this but My Cousin Vinny is generally regarded by lawyers as one of the finest examples of cross examination ever shown in a movie. After his brilliantly goofball introduction, we see Vinny calmly and ruthlessly rip apart witness after witness in the correct manner. He never needs to prove the witnesses are wrong, just that there is reasonable doubt. And his use of an expert witness is textbook as well. Just a really well written screenplay.

A well-deserved Oscar for Marisa Tomei. One of the most iconic roles ever. She knocked it out of the park and looked like a knockout doing it.

She's gorgeous? You didn't recognize Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) from the Tom Holland Spider-man movies?

RIP Fred Gwynne and Lane Smith. I've been a fan of Ralph Macchio since 1986. Also, I've been a fan of Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei since 1987. I was eight years old when this movie came out. Joe Pesci was 49, Marisa Tomie was 27, and Ralph Macchio was 30 when this film came out.

I have always loved how respectful Vinny was with Mrs. Riley. It really shows his character, and what a good person he is.

I really like that there are no villains in this film. The judge, prosecutor, and sheriff aren't bad people, they are just mistaken. When they see their mistake, they do the right thing.

This was filmed in middle Georgia in and around a tiny town called Monticello that was picked because of the historic courthouse on the square - you could still drive past the "Sac O' Suds" almost exactly as it was filmed until about 11 years ago when it shut down and got boarded up. It was reopened under the same name later but with several cosmetic changes, particularly the removal of the old gas pump island that was so central to winning the case.

Fun fact: Joe Pesci was thought by many to be too old for Marisa Tomei as the love interest. To make Pesci look younger the make-up artists for the film gave him an artificial face lift: they used tape to pull back his face skin getting rid of wrinkles. There are some closeups of Pesci's face in the movie where you can actually see the crease mark just to the left of his ear where the tape is pulling back the skin.

This is your best reaction yet. You really let your personality shine through. Loved it. You're so beautiful.

2 utes always got me laughing.

You want to react to a good Court Room Drama? Watch 'a Time to Kill'. It stars; Matthew McConaughey, Samuel L. Jackson, Sandra Bullock, Ashley Judd, Kevin Spacey, Kiefer Sutherland, Donald Sutherland, Patrick McGoohan, Brenda Fricker, Oliver Platt, Chris Cooper, Charles S. Dutton, Kurtwood Smith, and a young Octavia Spencer.

"How did he pass the Bar?" Actual courtroom procedure is not tested on the bar exam. If any procedure is on the exam, it is civil procedure - usually about filing deadlines. The bar exam takes place over two days. There is a multi-state part which is tested at the same day and time across the country. Then, either the day before or the day after, the state-specific portion of the exam is tested. The multi-state portion is multiple choice and covers Common Law as well as model codes. The state-specific part is up to each state, but it usually the test is in essay form and tests the particular laws of the state. States that have a major metropolitan area on the border tend to cooperate such that one state will do its exam the day before the multi-state, and the other will hold its exam the day after. This way, an attorney can practice law throughout the metro area because he is licensed in both states (e.g. Kansas and Missouri for Kansas City, Maryland and Virginia for Washington DC, New York and New Jersey, Missouri and Illinois for St. Louis, Washington and Oregon for Portland). What one needs to understand is that the bar exam is graded on a curve. The purpose isn't really to test legal competence, but rather to serve as a barrier to entry to keep legal fees high. Thus, the same quality of answers could result in a pass one year but a fail the next depending on how good the pool of aspiring attorneys are taking the same exam. That said, failing five times is a bit much. Real legal skills are learned on the job. Back in the day, a person wanting to be a lawyer would join a law firm as a clerk, then as the lawyers there got to know him and evaluate his ability, he would be admitted to the bar, similar to how an apprentice electrician becomes a journeyman electrician. Naturally, this system ends up creating a closed profession, the entry into which is based upon *who* one knows rather than *what* one knows. This is the sort of thing that Americans tend not to like, so we created a system in which a state would have a test to ensure minimum competency and allow anyone who passed to practice law (see, e.g. Abraham Lincoln). When this system was established, people who wanted to be lawyers would study on their own by "reading law." Later, somebody got the idea to create course of instruction to prepare people to take the exam, and law schools were born. Now however, law school itself is also a barrier to entry. Something like 48 states require a degree from an ABA accredited law school to even sit for the exam. Moreover, law schools have become more "academic." Law professors used to be practicing attorneys who would teach classes and share their real-life experience with the students. Articles in law reviews were written when the author actually had something to say. Now, law schools have full-time professors who generally don't actually practice law, and who may or may not have done so in the past. There is a pressure to publish, and stuff like "Law and Literature" were added to the class offerings. As a result, a student with a JD *still* needs to sign up for and attend a bar prep course (the most common one is BarBri) as a practical matter, which makes one wonder what the purpose of law school is today.

Consider reacting to the 1992 military court drama film "A Few Good Men" starring Tom Cruise and a stacked cast.

If you like this one also check out The Hard Way (1991) James Woods, Michael J. Fox

The accent must have thrown you off, she's Aunt May for Tom Holland's Spider-Man.

Had the biggest crush on Marisa Tomei when this came out, lol who am I kidding she is still super hot🤣

This is one of those few movies that is top notch in all areas: casting, directing, writing, comedy, camera work, editing, pacing, music, wardrobe, set design, etc. I don't think there is any part of this movie that is lacking. This is one of my top favorite movies.

Thanks for being 2 TIMES LOUDER than the movie. 🤔

The witnesses weren't out to get them. They were just saying what they thought they saw. They did indeed hear a gun go off and then saw two men get into a green convertible. The whole point is to demonstrate the shortcomings of eyewitness testimony. The prosecutor as well wasn't personally out for them. He was just a good lawyer doing his job as best he could. As soon as he was presented with evidence that clearly showed they weren't guilty they dismissed the charges. It's one of the best things about this film. They didn't feel the need to make anyone corrupt or a villain. Everyone seems basically good and decent.

Your editor is mean. Every SINGLE great moment in the movie was cut from your reaction.

Don't try grits unless you take a trip to the American south. I've lived all over the country and the north doesn't know what grits are supposed to be.

Love this movie. Hilarious! However the beginning when they get arrested is so stressful. Why did it take so long to mention it was only tuna?

Try the grits darlin'... You'll love em'‼😃🍛🧈🌽

don't know if you've reacted to the karate kid but the kid who stole the tuna is the actor Ralph Macchio who plays karate Kid

One other thing is that small towns in rural areas exist in every single state in the Union, so this movie could've taken place anywhere in America. As someone who lives in one of those small towns, let me tell you that I recognize each and every local depicted in this film: the sheriff, the judge, the prosecuting attorney, the witnesses, even the clerk who was shot and killed. Those people are part of my community, and they were written with exquisite accuracy by Dale Launer. Good screenwriters don't get enough credit for what they do. Good actors bring great characters to life, but a good screenwriter has to first create them and make sure they're _true-to-life,_ or the movie will fail.

Ok. I'm down for this later. Also, sending you Marisa Tomei's body suit outfit for birthday strim.

Watch Joe Pesci again in Goodfellas. It's Incredible True Story 👍.

The defense expert testimony (eyebrows guy) was James Rebhorn. Movie and TV saw Rebhorn perform in SOOOO many supporting roles that my wife and I just call him 'that guy', as most people around in that era immediately know they know him, but few know his name.

Grits are good. Ever had Cream of Wheat? It's kind of like that.

After watching this for year on TV, I finally watched it again with the swears. One of my favorite lines was when they wake up in the car and as Vinny is trying to get to the drivers seat, he yells "Dis F*ckin' jacket!"

Grits are absolutely delicious! Find a Waffle House and get them with bacon and cheddar cheese in them.

My advice would be to go for shrimp and cheese grits for a first try. Nothing wrong with plain grits. I like mine with just a little butter and jam. But like with people, more dressed-up for a first date is better.

The stuttering public defender was also in a great little love story movie starring Nicholas Cage and Shirley McClaine called "Guarding Tess". That's a movie I think you'd really like, and I know your reaction would be really entertaining.

You need to see more older movies...From the same early '90s period is a wonderful Bill Murray gem called Groundhog Day that you will probably love even more than this one.

Watch Tron legacy

You should react to Goodfellas another great performance by Joe Pesci.

The best part about the characters is that the film sets up that they'll be villains, but when you get right down to it, they actually are honest and honorable. They're antagonists, but only doing their job. Once Vinny successfully blew up the prosecution's case, they were gracious and dropped the charges without argument. This is the movie that put Marissa Tomei on the map. And you're right, she was absolutely GORGEOUS (hell, she's STILL gorgeous). The thing about a small diner like that is the best restaurants actually have a small menu. If you have a lot of different items on the menu, it means they're likely working with frozen food that were probably pre-cooked. However if you have a short menu, it means that almost everything is going to be cooked right then and there from fresh ingredients. The focus on legal procedures in this movie is SO good, that it's STILL by law schools to teach them to this day. The biggest outright mistake is when the judge overrules Vinny's objection to the surprise witness. Not only was his argument lucid, intelligent, and well thought-out, it was also RIGHT. Vinny would have had grounds. And if Vinny hadn't screwed up the arraignment and pretrial he probably could have gotten the case dismissed altogether over the confusion at the beginning with the charges. The Public Defender made a critical error: You NEVER ask the witness a question on the stand that you don't already know the answer to. Vinny, however, did his homework with the seemingly innocuous questions he was asking while interviewing the witnesses before the trial.

Perfect example of why you always ask for a lawyer before speaking to the police ever. Nothing wrong with having an advocate that knows the system.

Bahubali 2 reaction🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Surprised you didn't say nothing about her outfits

That explains the hostility said by the judge gets me every time , loved the reaction

react to bahubali 2 the conclusion as u have reacted to bahubali 1

Judge was Herman Munster!

Southern boy here. I can attest that properly made grits, while simple, can be absolutely fantastic.

Grits is like the southern version of Oatmeal

Dude, Marisa Tomei earned that Oscar! She absolutely killed it in this role! And of course Joe Pesci is always entertaining (I don't think you could make him *not* entertaining). Also, Hi Vicky! How are you doing?

You can try grits at Waffle House.

Are you ever gonna finish Wednesday?

Many lawyers say this is one of the most accurate court movies.

This movie made we want to try grits too, Vicky. They're basically the sister to mashed potatoes in the south and are legitimately great when made the right way- cheese, bacon, chives is my favorite

"a swimming pool with chickens" OMG 😂😂😂😳

Marrisa Tomei spoke in Brooklyn accent. I should know. Out upstairs tenant spoke with a Brooklyn accent back in my old hometown of NYC in the 1960s..We lived in Queens one of the 5 boroughs of NYC. 😊
